Tudor homes have become a trademark architectural style for American homes. Derived from a charming melange of late Medieval and early Renaissance styles, the Tudor-style home was popularized in the 1920s as wealthy stockbrokers built new homes to accommodate their luxurious lifestyles. Tudor homes are typically characterized by solid masonry and elaborative decorative stone. What the Tudor homes boast in charm, Colonial homes boast in elegant classicism. The Colonial-style home traces its origins to England, where architects such as Christopher Wren and James Gibbs pulled influence from the architecture of classical civilizations.
