The Mediterranean Revival, sometimes known also as Spanish Revival, were designed to look like Mediterranean villas. It has been said that American soldiers returning from WWI found the Period Revival homes appealing because they were reminded of the architecture they had seen in Europe.

Clay tile roofs, arches, sometimes in windows and over porches, twisted columns and wrought iron are hallmarks of the Mediterranean style. Rustic wooden beams as design elements are also found on these Revival houses.
