The drama and beauty of historic homes in California are studied
and displayed here in a deeply researched text and over 350
stunning color and over 50 black and white photographs. Southern
California's Spanish Revival monuments are pictured here-such as
Hearst Castle at San Simeon, the Adamson House in Malibu, Casa del
Herrero in Montecito. You will enjoy Rancho Revival landmarks like
the Lummis House on Pasadena's arroyo, and Will Rogers' ranch near
Pacific Palisades. These are all different portrayals of the
California Colonial, its romantic past and its manner of settling
into California's climate and landscape. Vernacular and religious
structures built between 1769 and 1848, during the Spanish Mission
and Mexican Rancho eras, gave California its unique character; a
look that was subsequently fictionalized in the revival
architecture produced since those colonial days. Particularly
influential on residential work, the colonial styles have indulged
in the rich associations with Spain's culture-employing styles and
ornament from the country's provincial Andalusian, Plateresco,
Churrigueresco, and Desornamentado styles and its ever-present
Mudejar crafts-or burrowed into its rustic pioneer roots and
depicted as individual visions of earthy rancho haciendas.
