Nashville Tudors
The quintessential Tudor house plan features contrasting whitewashed plaster against diagonally placed heavy dark beams, a sloping roof, and the focal point of a substantial patterned stone or brick chimney. Other accenting features typical of Tudor house plans may include multi-paned casement or mullioned windows, rounded doorways, and a projecting bay window cantilevered over the first floor. The name Tudor suggests that these houses were built in the 1500s, during the Tudor Dynasty in England. But of course, Tudor houses in the United States are modern-day re-inventions and are more accurately called Tudor Revival or Medieval Revival. Prominent Tudor home plans incorporate defining characteristics such as half-timbering on bay windows and upper floors, and facades that are dominated by one or more sharply pitched cross gables.

More about Tudors Decorative brick or stonewalls are common, as are curved doorways, multi-paned casement windows, and large stone chimneys. With a pitched roof and a very big chimney at the front, a Tudor style home may remind you of a charming storybook house. Some houses mimic modest Medieval country cottages, and some might even include an artificial hay thatched roof. Some include overlapping gables, parapets, and beautifully decorative brick or stonework. Many of these historic details, however, merge with Victorian or Craftsman embellishments.
