OK, you don’t see Pueblo style homes in most Central Ohio Neighborhoods but it’s all about home style education. Taking its cues from Native American and Spanish Colonial styles, chunky looking Pueblos emerged around 1900 in California, but proved most popular in Arizona and New Mexico, where many original designs still survive.
The style is characterized by flat roofs, parapet walls with round edges, earth-colored stucco or adobe-brick walls, straight-edge window frames, and roof beams that project through the wall. The interior typically features corner fireplaces, unpainted wood columns, and tile or brick floors.
I hope you are enjoying this home style primer while I’m on vacation. Credit: Information for this post was derived from REALTOR® Magazine Online’s Architecture Guide.
