much of it built by wealthy winter residents along the beachfront. In response to the economic difficulties of the nation, a more restrained form of architecture became popular: Resort Colonial Revival. This relatively modest style was in deliberate contrast to the more flamboyant and exuberant Mediterranean Revival style which was in vogue only a decade before, during the Florida boom of the 1920s. A subtype of the Colonial Revival style, the Resort Colonial genre combined the best features of colonial and vernacular design with interesting resort details such as open-air balconies. Typically, Resort Colonial Revival is a two-story with either a rectangular or square plan. Roofs are hipped or side-gabled with boxed eaves and little overhang, occasionally decorated with dentils or simple cornices. Both symmetrical and asymmetrical facades are common. The main entrance tends to be simple in ornament, but remains a focal point of the façade. Windows are usually double-hung, with six, eight, or nine panes. Bay, paired and triple windows can also be found. Wood clapboard is most common in Florida, but masonry examples can be found. The interiors of these houses were often filled with beautifully crafted architectural elements. The City’s inventory of these types of remaining structures includes but a handful remaining along the waterfront.
