Mission Revival is an architectural style that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States. It draws inspiration from the Spanish missions established in California during the 18th and 19th centuries. Characterized by its use of stucco exteriors, red-tiled roofs, and arched doorways, this style reflects a romanticized vision of California's colonial past.
The style became popular in various types of buildings, including homes, churches, and public structures. Notable examples of Mission Revival architecture can be found in cities like Santa Barbara and San Diego. This movement contributed to the broader Arts and Crafts movement, emphasizing craftsmanship and simplicity.
