Tudor Revival homes, with steep gables, half-timbering, tall chimneys and leaded glass windows, were among the most popular styles in Southern California in the 1920s and 1930s. Hollywood set designers took the look further into the whimsical Storybook style: rolling roofs, crooked chimneys and cottages that seem drawn from a fairy tale.
The best-known example is the Spadena House, the Witch’s House, built in 1921 for a film studio and moved to Beverly Hills in 1926. This page gathers the Tudor and Storybook homes for sale across Los Angeles and the coast.
