Spanish Eclectic

Spanish Eclectic

Most common in the Southwest and Florida, Spanish-style architecture takes its cues from the missions of the early Spanish missionaries—such as the one at San Juan Capistrano in California—and includes details from the Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural styles. The houses usually have low-pitched tiled roofs, white stucco walls, and rounded windows and doors. Other elements may include scalloped dormers, windows and balconies with elaborate grillwork, decorative tiles around doorways and windows, and a bell tower or two.
