Beautiful 1976 Tudor style home in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania is on the 8th hole of a golf course. It has 4bd 4.5ba and if you like orange, this is the decor for you. Listed for $1.4M.
Look at this gate. That is so cool.
Isn’t the entrance hall amazing? It’s in the turret.
Isn’t this an elegant sitting room. Look at the fancy fireplace, the ceiling, and windows. Plus, it’s a sunken living room.
Large formal dining room.
This kitchen is huge. Do you love how the orange sinks match the floor?
This must be the everyday dining spot in front of the fireplace. Wow, that’s gorgeous.
The powder room- look at the green sink & toilet. I would change the wallpaper.
What a beautiful music/game/rec room. I guess you get the piano with it, too. They also left the lighting fixture that goes over a pool table.
And, check this out- a sunken bar.
Ooh, I like this purple hall.
I think that this is the main bd. It’s kind of dated.
The main en-suite is huge.
Everything has a separate space.
Separate tub room.
The other bedrooms and baths are spacious.
Notice the cool face in the rock on the right.
Waterfall feature.
Has a nice spacious yard and pool.

Hmm, would I rather design a house inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie and Usonian styles with some Art Deco accents, or Tudor Revival with Dark Academia and Dieselpunk inspired interior? As a dieselpunk, I'm torn between something that was completely new in the 1930s and within those themes, and someone that is much more common within the setting and layered in the progression of styles.

Tudor City is an apartment complex located on the southern edge of Turtle Bay, on the East Side of Manhattan in New York City, near Turtle Bay's border with Murray Hill. Designed and developed by the Fred F. French Company, it lies on a low cliff, which is east of Second Avenue between 40th and 43rd Streets and overlooks First Avenue. Construction commenced in 1926, making it the first residential skyscraper complex in the world. Tudor City was one of the first, largest, and most important examples of a planned middle-class residential community in New York City. It is named for its Tudor Revival architecture. The complex is a New York City designated landmark district and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The 13-building complex consists of 11 housing cooperatives, one rental apartment building, and one short-term hotel; these buildings collectively house 5,000 people. Most of Tudor City's buildings are arranged around 41st and 43rd Streets, which slope upward east of Second Avenue; the eastern ends of the two streets are connected by Tudor City Place, which crosses over 42nd Street. Two parks flank 42nd Street, and there was once an 18-hole miniature golf course in the southern park. The buildings generally contain stone, brick, and terracotta facades, as well as ornate Tudor-style details. The Fred F. French Company advertised Tudor City heavily, erecting large signs on the roofs of two buildings on 42nd Street, which could be seen from blocks away.
Before Tudor City was constructed, tenements and slums dominated the area. Following the development of the nearby Grand Central Terminal and office buildings during the early 20th century, Fred F. French began planning a residential enclave in Midtown Manhattan. French announced plans for Tudor City in December 1925, and the first 12 structures were completed in phases between October 1927 and late 1930. The section of 42nd Street through Tudor City was widened in the 1950s with the construction of the nearby United Nations headquarters. The final building in the complex, 2 Tudor City Place, was finished in 1956, and the French Company sold the Hotel Tudor in 1963. Harry Helmsley bought most of the remaining buildings in 1970 and resold them in 1984 to Philip Pilevsky and Francis J. Greenburger, who converted most of these structures to co-op apartments.
The complex contains 12 apartment buildings, named Prospect Tower, Tudor Tower, Windsor Tower, Woodstock Tower, Hatfield House, the Manor, the Hermitage, the Cloister, Essex House, Haddon Hall, and Hardwicke Hall; it also includes a hotel, the Hotel Tudor. Woodstock Tower, in the center of the complex, is the tallest tower of the group, and was originally topped by a flèche, a gothic spire. Tudor City's original shops included three restaurants (providing room service for a fee), grocery, liquor, and drug stores, a barber shop, and beauty parlor. Services included a post office, indoor playground, private nursery, maids, laundry and valet service, private guards, garage, a furniture repair and rug cleaning service, and a radio engineer who would repair and connect aerials. Residents published their own magazine, and there were also organizations such as a camera club. The enclave also contained such amenities as an ice-skating rink and tennis courts, in addition to a library, babysitting service, and bowling alley. Prospect Tower and Tudor Tower both contained two rooftop decks, while the Manor contained another roof deck; there was also a water playground for children.
Due to their distinctive architectural style, Tudor City has been heavily featured in television in film. Appearances include The Godfather Part III, Scarface, Taxi Driver, and Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy.

“Time Hill” the Old Gruen Watch Company Office Building
The Gruen Watch Company “Guild Hall” was built 1916-1917, designed by Guy Channing Burroughs in a Tudor Revival style. The building was meant to emphasis the craftsmanship that was put into the company’s watches and was influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement. This movement was a reaction to the hyperindustrialization of production and sought to return to a premodern sense of craftsmanship and quality. Besides the influence of English Tudor style, the building is also meant to invoke a medieval German or Swiss guildhall. The company’s founder, Dietrich Gruen, was born in Germany and trained in watchmaking in Switzerland before immigrating to the United States.
The building has a fireplace with tile produced by Rookwood Pottery, a company that had become renowned for its unique craftsmanship. Luckily the building still stands today in good shape and is currently home to the Union Institute & University.

Lovin’ the colorful decor in this 1926 home in New Braunfels, Texas. ($1.695M)
It’s a Tudor Revival style and still has the fireplace w/the built-in bookcases of the period.
They made a sitting area in the enclosed breezeway, which is nice.
Love this bright blue retro kitchen.
The cabinets look original, with new brass hardware. That stove, though!
Nice little eating area in front of the windows. This could look even better - needs to be zhuzhed up.
A lot of people like a main floor main bdrm.
And, it has a very nice en suite.
Here, they made a large bedroom out of the sunporch, which I would put back to a sunporch.
Like how they gave the bedrooms names up here. Must be the kids’ names.
This bedroom and en suite is lovely.
And, here’s another nice bedroom. House has been well-cared-for, and at least it has color.
This is beautiful- a balcony on the 2nd fl. Across the way is another, smaller home on the property.
Isn’t this beautiful? Could be a guest house or a rental.
What a great little place.
Look at how cool the garage is.
Very nice outdoor space, and it looks like this cute little crooked playhouse comes with it, too. Very nice.
via for the love of old houses
