MISSION REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE The Mission Revival architectural style was a result of a preservation movement that began in the 1880’s and coincided with the American Arts and Crafts Movement. The movement embraced indigenous construction, smooth stucco exteriors, red tile roofs and most notable roof parapets,classic coves, Moorish arches, pergolas, courtyards and patios. California had a profound influence on American life during the first half of the 20th Century and nowhere was it more apparent than in architecture. Gustav Stickley wrote extensively about the preservation of the California missions, introducing the architecture to a National audience in his magazine “The Craftsman.” “When a man’s home is born out of his heart and developed through his labour and perfected through his sense of beauty, it is the very cornerstone of life.” Gustav Stickley
