Red Tile Style: America's Spanish Revival Architecture Review: Great Book! Best I’ve purchased on Spanish style homes! - Bought used- came as expected- LOVE THE BOOK! Even talks about Ybor City and Jacksonville Florida And since my Spanish home is in Florida that was a great connection. Photos are beautiful and interesting inside, outside and details. Since I’m not an expert I cannot speak to content but I felt well informed. Review: Comprehensive and beautifully illustrated review of Spanish Revival Architecture - This book is like the bible of Spanish Revival architecture. It's eight chapters cover the history of the style (Introduccion), small houses (Las Casitas), large houses (Las Casas Grandes), patios (Las Casas con Patio), commercial structures (Los Edificios Comerciales), public structures (Los Edificios Publicos), details (Los Detalles), and new structures (Los Edificios Neuvos). All of the chapters are beautifully illustrated with numerous pictures of full exteriors, interiors, and interesting details. Each picture is accompanied by copious text describing the significant features in the image and, in many cases, the defining architectural characteristics of the associated period as the Spanish Revival style evolved. Although the focus is on Spanish Revival architecture in California, other states where the style is common, such as Texas and Florida, also receive passing mention. The relationship of the Spanish Revival style to the closely associated (in stylistic space and time) Spanish Mission, Arts and Crafts, and Craftsman (aka 'Mission') styles is also covered in the introduction. For most homeowners the chapters on small houses, patios, and details will be the most interesting, but there are plenty of ideas and inspiration to be found in the larger houses, commercial, and public buildings as well. The chapter on Details is particularly wonderful, showcasing details of the doors, windows, lamp fixtures, tile and wrought iron work that are an integral part of the style. When you've finished this book, you'll be able to impress your decorator with your knowledge of the differences between the Mission, Spanish Colonial, Churrigueresque, and Andalusian flavors of the Spanish Revival style. As another reviewer commented, for some mysterious reason this book omits page numbers, although the Table of Contents reference them. I suspect this was a big 'oops' on the part of the publisher/printer. This book is an excellent rebuttal to Garrison Frost's article on "The Red Tile Terror" (google it), which rightfully laments the "lazy creation of ugly, soulless buildings" in the Spanish Revival style in modern day California. (Bay Area, I'm looking at you.) Indeed, Spanish Revival is as much a product of image and marketing as it is a reflection of a (mostly mythic) past. However, that is true of most architectural styles more elaborate than a mud hut. The chapter on New Construction highlights some Bay Area homes (rebuilt after the 1991 Oakland fire) that were done right. If you want to know what authentic Spanish Revival looks like, this is the book for you. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #406,380 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #234 in Architectural Drafting & Presentation #348 in Residential Architecture #433 in Architectural History | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 49 Reviews | ## Images ![Red Tile Style: America's Spanish Revival Architecture - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ykjW1JWbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book!

It's a good all-around book that covers the early history of the Spanish style of architecture to present day buildings. I was happy to see that it also covered not only residential but commercial buildings as well. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a broad overview of the Spanish style. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/15931555-red-tile-style-americas-spanish-revival-architecture](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/15931555-red-tile-style-americas-spanish-revival-architecture) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
