What Style is it?

Spanish Colonial Revival

This architectural style draws heavily on Spanish architecture from European designs and is prominent in many areas of the Southwest, especially California, Arizona and Texas. It features clay tile roofs in red, green or variegated colors, stucco or adobe walls, deep-set windows, interior courtyards, decorative wrought iron details and heavy carved entry doors with iron hinges and nails, called “clavos.” These homes are in the Austin Terrace Historic District in El Paso.
