The Tudor style explains its roots in the Roaring Twenties and reveals its beginnings in Medieval designs.

Each style gives viewers visual clues to help identify its style. A lively Victorian explains why it was once an example of high tech; design and why it still inspires houses built today. The Prairie style explains its strong horizontal lines. Colonial Revival houses explore their origins and viewers learn that the style of a house is a visual expression of social values.
