Welcome to Spanish Revival architecture

ASSOCIATIONS
The Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach
An organistion committed to honouring and preserving Palm Beach's original architectural treasures including the work of Addison Mizner. The archives and library exist to sustain the mission of the foundation by collecting, preserving, organising, and encouraging the use of its historical documents and research materials. Special projects include preservation and restoration of the Spanish Revival style Palm Beach Town Hall.

The Committee of One Hundred
Dedicated to the preservation of Spanish Colonial Architecture in Balboa Park, San Diego. During the 1960’s some of the heritage buildings on the Plaza de Panama were demolished. A group of people brought a halt to the destruction. Since then the Committee of 100 has been a strong advocate for these buildings, raising funds and public support for reconstruction. They also run architectural guided walking tours.

San Diego Historical Society
The headquarters for this organisation is located in a building designed for the 1915 Panama California Exposition. It is a museum and archive of photographs, objects and documents.

HISTORIC HOUSES
Adamson House
This house designed by Clement Stiles is located right on Malibu beach. In 1985 it was designated California Historic Landmark No. 966 by the California Historical Resources Commission, largely because of the lavish and extensive ceramic installations of rare and priceless tile from Malibu Potteries. It is open for public inspection.

Casa Del Herrero
A palatial residence designed by George Washington Smith. It is located in a quiet street of Montecito just south of Santa Barbara. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Advance reservation is required for all tours.

La Casa Nueva
A twenty six room house built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style features outstanding tile, wrought iron, woodwork (the front door is amazing) and stained glass. Part of the Workman and Temple Family Homestead Museum on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
