Peaking in popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, the movement drew heavily on the style of palaces and seaside villas and applied them to the rapidly expanding coastal resorts of Florida and California.
Structures are typically based on a rectangular floor plan, and feature massive, symmetrical primary façades. Stuccoed walls, red tiled roofs, windows in the shape of arches or circles, one or two stories, wood or wrought ironbalconies with window grilles, and articulated door surrounds are characteristic.[1][2]Keystones were occasionally employed. Ornamentation may be simple or dramatic. Lush gardens often appear.
