Chapin Park Local Historic District Guidebook Page 11 RENAISSANCE The Renaissance revival style took its inspiration from the palace and villa architecture of Sixteenth- and Seventeenth- century Italy. The style employs mostly symmetrical façades, hip or flat roofs, recessed entry porches, full-length first floor windows, grouped windows that may be arched, decorative ironwork and classical motifs. Common con- struction materials are: brick, stone, stucco and clay tile. TUDOR This revival style emulated late-medieval English architec- ture and English country houses. The façades exhibit faux half-timbering, patterned brickwork, and parapet walls; substantial chimneys, some with decorative chimney pots; and slate roofs and leaded-glass diamond-pane windows. These buildings often have steep gabled rooflines and asymmetrical plans.
