Tudor Revival architecture was popular in Edmonton in the 1930s, and can evoke responses for its storybook qualities.
The earliest Tudor Revival buildings date from the 1890s, but this style became particularly popular in Edmonton in the late 1920s and 1930s. The style drew strong influences from medieval England, but added elements seen in Queen Anne and other Victorian era styles as well. Tudor Revival is distinguishable by the use of steep gables, decorative half-timbering and massive chimneys. It was used in Edmonton for many different structures, including churches, schools, and residences.
