HISTORICAL NOTE - A TUDOR REVIVAL Beginning in the mid to late 19th century and often referred to as Mock Tudor this form of architecture began in the U.K. and adapted to other parts of the globe. The style evolved from a combination of earlier forms, Tudor, Elizabethan and Jacobean, the emphasis being on the simpler and more rustic aspects of Tudor architecture. After W.W.I the 20th Century Tudor Revival style became popular in Canada and the U.S.A. in older upscale neighbourhoods with larger lots allowing the house to have individual presence to display “olde worlde” charm.
