SANTA CRUZ' S ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE
The Colonial Revival was more aptly a nationalistic style. At a time when "manifest destiny" was at its peak, the early 1890's, Americans began to value their own heritage and architecture. Colonial Revival sought to follow the style of the period around the Revolutionary War. Distinctive in this style are multiple columned porches, and doors with fanlights and sidelights. The two-story apartment buidling at 303 Mission Street (the Weston Richardson House) is a Colonial Revival building.
