CITY OF SAN BUENAVENTURA HISTORIC LANDMARKS, DISTRICTS, and POINTS OF INTEREST Landmark Number: 93 Historic Name: Petit Tudor Address: 1725 Miramar Drive Designated: October 2002 Description: The house was built in 1929 by Charles W. Petit, the mayor of Ventura for many years. There have been three other owners of this house since it was built. The house was designed by John C. Austin, F.A.I.A. and Frederic M. Ashley, A.I.A., architects with offices located in the Chamber of Commerce building in Los Angeles, and is a good example of English Tudor architecture in Ventura. The English Tudor style refers to the Tudor period in England in the first half of the 16th Century. This period included the reign of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Mary. The Tudor style was used for domestic vs. ecclesiastical architecture. The house is a two story single-family residence. The footprint is mostly rectangular with some irregularities. The roof is very high pitched. The exterior is stucco with many details in brick and wood. Most of the windows on the first floor are casement windows. These windows are equipped with metal roller screens. There are many leaded windows throughout the house. There is a bay window in the library with a copper roof. On the second floor, most windows are casement or double hung, but on an old sleeping porch there are "pocket windows." These windows have a windowsill that opens and the windows drop into a pocket below. The front door has white oak veneer and has a window with a wrought iron grate. The entire entry is framed in decorative brick. In 1996 the house was remodeled and some alterations were made. The kitchen and breakfast area windows were changed and a fireplace was added in the breakfast area. An outdoor patio with fireplace was also added. These added features are in keeping with the architecture of the home. Photo by Don Taylor (9-28-2002) .

6. the Tudors and Jacobethan England
6. The Tudors and Jacobethan England History Literature Click here for a Tudor timeline. The royal website includes a history of the Tudor Monarchs [and those prior and post this period]. Art This site will guide you to short articles on the Kings and Queens of the Tudor Music Dynasty. Another general guide to Tudor times can be found here. Architecture Click here for a fuller account of Elizabeth. One of the principle events of the reign of Elizabeth was the defeat of the Spanish Armada (here's the BBC Armada site). Elizabeth's famous (and short) speech before the battle can be found here. England's power grew mightily in this period, which is reflected in the lives and achievements of contemporary 'heroes' such as Sir Francis Drake, fearless fighter against the Spanish who circumnavigated the globe, and Sir Walter Raleigh (nowadays pronounced Rawley), one of those who established the first British colonies across the Atlantic (and who spelt his name in over 40 different ways...). Raleigh is generally 'credited' with the commercial introduction of tobacco into England .about 1778, and possibly of the potato. On a lighter note, information on Elizabethan costume is available here (including such items as farthingales and bumrolls). Literature Drama and the theatre The Elizabethan age is the golden age of English drama, for which the establishment of permanent theatres is not least responsible. As performances left the inn-yards and noble houses for permanent sites in London, the demand for drama increased enormously. While some of the smaller theatres were indoors, it is the purpose-built round/square/polygonal buildings such as The Theatre (the first, built in 1576), the Curtain (late 1570s?), the Rose (1587), the Swan (1595), the Fortune (1600) and of course the Globe (1599) that are most characteristic of the period.

A Self-Guided Walking Tour of Montrose Park
A SELF-GUIDED WALKING TOUR OF MONTROSE PARK Montrose Park Historic District Association Our mission is to promote, preserve, and beautify the Montrose Park Historic District, maintain its integrity, and enhance the quality of life for all residents. Montrose Park Historic District Association is a non-profit, tax exempt organization under the IRS Code 501(c)(3) MONTROSE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT ASSOCIATION This walking tour celebrates the rich architectural heritage concentrated in South Orange and particularly in the Montrose Park neighborhood, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1997. This tour doesn’t cover every house but highlights some of the more interesting homes in a structured leisurely walk that you can complete in about an hour. MPHDA thanks Janet Foster, a historic preservation consultant, for her assistance in curating the stops on this walk and for the written commentary, both about the houses featured and the development of the area we call Montrose Park. Walking instructions are in RED; Individual house addresses are in bold. BEGIN THE TOUR IN GROVE PARK, NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF GROVE ROAD AND RALSTON AVENUE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE ORIGINS OF MONTROSE PARK In the mid-19th century, the Oranges were both traditional farming communities and emerging “resort” areas. “Mountain Station” was established by the 1840s along the Morris & Essex Railroad to serve the Mountain House, a fashionable hotel and spa located on the hill behind the Mountain Station. It advertised that South Orange and the hill to its west made it the “Switzerland of America”. Clearly, most people visiting had not been to Switzerland, or had even seen the Rockies.

Architecture, like philosophy, dates from the morning of the mind's history. Primitive man found Nature beautiful to look at, wet and uncomfortable to live in; a shelter became the first desideratum; and hence arose " the most useful of the fine arts, and the finest of the useful arts." Its history, however, does not begin until the thought of beauty had insinuated itself into the mind of the builder.

Domestic 3: Suburban and Country Houses Listing Selection Guide Summary
Domestic 3: Suburban and Country Houses Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of- selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide, one of four on different types of Domestic Buildings, covers suburban and country houses.

Elizabethan Architecture and the Faerie Queene
Judith Dundas ELIZABETHAN ARCHITECTURE AND THE FAERIE QUEENE: SOME STRUCTUR.A.L ANALOGIES IF ONE rs SEEKIKG TO LEAR:-; something of the aesthetic of an age, it seems that making analogies between two of the ans is one of the most useful approaches to this abstraction called an aesthetic. Panofsky's Go thic Architecture and Scholasticism is a sufficient example of an approach to the history of ideas through parallels drawn between co ntemporaneous creations of the human mind. Analogies between arts of any period, if these analogies have validity, will almost certainly suggest general qualities of tas te or habits of mind. For the Elizabethan Age, additional knowledge of artistic assumptions and aims can be gained from a comparison of one of the fine arts with the elaborate structure and imagery of Spenser's Faerie Queene. 1 Architecture was chosen because it happens to be more distinctively English than any of the other Elizabethan fine arts, w;,th the exception of miniatures. Miniatures, however, scarcely lend themselves to comparison with a work of such magnitude as The Faerie Queene, whereas architecture is a particularly good field for in vestigation. Indeed, Spenser's poem is itself designed architecturally; the am bitious plan of illustrating the virtues in twelve hooks and linking them into a whole by the inclusive virtue of magnanimity recalls the great houses of the day, such as Burghley. It was essentially a secular architecture that the Renaissance brought to England, since the patrons were not the Church-which accounts for much of the magnificent architecture of Renaissance Italy-but the landed gentry.

Acknowledgements When we acquired the manor and estate in 1974, we little realized what a formidable task it would be—managing, making, conserving, repairing, edifying—absorbing energies forever after. We would like to thank the countless people who have helped or encouraged, those with specialized knowledge and interests as well as those responsible, indefatigably and patiently, for the daily round. We thank especially HRH The Prince of Wales for gracious permission to quote from A Vision of Britain; long-suffering parents, children, and staff; David Mlinaric (interiors); Jacob Pot and Andrew Townsend (conservation architecture); Rory Young and Ursula Falconer (lime repairs); John Sales, Penelope Hobhouse and Simon Verity (gardens); Stephen Davis and Duff Hart-Davis (fire brigades); and Joan Gould and Martin Fairfax-Cholmeley (loans).

Neo-Tudor and Its Enemies by GAVIN STAMP
Neo-Tudor and its Enemies by GAVIN STAMP (A record of the Annual Lecture of the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain 2005, slightly revised) Has any architecture — even the concrete 'shoe boxes' of the 1960s — received such consistent abuse as the neo-Tudor of the first half of the twentieth century — especially in its middle-class, suburban manifestations (Fig. 1)? 'The abominable Tudoristic villa of the By-pass road', 'The worst bogus Tudor housing estates', and 'Those repellent, jerry-built, sham-Tudor houses that disfigure England' are some contemporary judgements.1 And as far as that enthusiast for the modern, Anthony Bertram, in his 1935 book, The House: A Machine for Living In, was concerned: The man who builds a bogus Tudoresque villa or castellates his suburban home is committing a crime against truth and tradition: he is denying the history of progress, denying his own age and insulting the very thing he pretends to imitate by misusing it.2 Some styles, like neo-Norman, remain resolutely unfashionable, as their expressions are usually so intractable and ungainly; but with neo-Tudor — 'Mock-Tudor' as the architecturally and historically illiterate tend to call it — we are dealing not so much with aesthetics as with snobbery. Neo-Tudor architecture — 'Stockbroker's Tudor' — Fig. 1. A development of neo-Tudor detached houses photographed by Herbert Felton in the 1930s; that its suburban location was and remains unidentified perhaps reflects the disdain with which such architecture is often still regarded (National Monuments Record).

NATION BUILDING: GOTHIC REVIVAL HOUSES in UPPER CANADA and CANADA WEST, C.1830–1867
NATION BUILDING: GOTHIC REVIVAL HOUSES IN UPPER CANADA AND CANADA WEST, c.1830–1867 JESSICA MACE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN VISUAL ART AND ART HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MARCH 2015 © JESSICA MACE, 2015 ABSTRACT The Gothic Revival is, without question, the most influential architectural movement to have ever come out of England. Its effects on houses, and colonial houses, in particular, however, have been little studied. Nation building: Gothic Revival houses in Upper Canada and Canada West, c.1830–67 examines the Gothic Revival houses built in the English colony of Upper Canada and Canada West prior to Confederation in 1867 in order to contextualize them and to give this category of housing the academic attention it merits. Using the buildings themselves as well as architectural drawings, plans, and archival photographs, this dissertation reveals and contextualizes the houses of pre–Confederation Canada within the broader scope of Western architectural history. The houses are divided into temporal and theoretical categories, examining the chronological spread of the style as well the means by which it was employed; namely, through architects and publications. Beyond formal analysis of the objects themselves, then, the influence of British and American precedents is examined from the mid–eighteenth century through to the late 1860s, as well as the dissemination of these ideas to the colony through a variety of conduits such as architects, publications and popular aesthetic theories. This study also explores the rise of the architectural practice in the colony and the resulting eventual spread of the architectural vocabulary of the Gothic style into vernacular housing.

While most people recognize the towers, ornate woodwork, and multi-colored stained glass, many are unaware that “Victorian” isn’t a single architectural style, but a conglomeration of styles ranging from Gothic Revival to Queen Anne and Eastlake. Most of these styles share irregular massing, ornate exterior decorations, and a number of different design influences, including English, French, Italian, and Swiss. Plain elevations are uncommon, since large-scale mill operations supplied inexpensive and mass-produced molding, ornate doors, windows, and decorative details, providing designers a plethora of personalization choices. The Victorian styles began in England under the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) and arrived in the United States through the influence of a number of architects, including Andrew Jackson Downing and Richard Norman Shaw.
