Spanish Revival

General Range

1890-1940

Spanish Revival houses, also called Spanish Eclectic houses, looked to various architectural elements of Spanish history. The first phase of the Spanish Eclectic, sometimes called the Mission Style, was common from 1890 to 1920 but is mostly found in the southwestern part of the United States. The house at 35 E. Smith Street in Corry City is an example of the first phase of the Spanish Revival. The key feature of the “Mission style” is the shaped parapet dormer, but other Spanish features include the stepped parapets of the porch and bay and the parapet end walls.
 
The second phase of the Spanish Revival style became common in the eastern states after the Panama-California Exposition of 1915, where architect Bertram Goodhue demonstrated the wealth of Spanish architecture that had not been part of the architectural vocabulary of American architects. Most examples in the eastern states thus date to the 1920s and 1930s. Common features of the style include a tile roof, usually hipped with a low pitch; tile roofing; and the use of arches in various places (especially over the door). Among the key examples identified in Erie County is 3944 Wood Street and 103 Lincoln Avenue, both in the City of Erie.
