storybook house
A Storybook House refers to an architectural style popularized in the 1920s in England and America.
==Description==
The storybook style is a nod toward Hollywood design technically called Provincial Revivalism and more commonly called Fairy Tale or Hansel and Gretel. While there is no specific definition of what makes a house Storybook style, the main factor may be a sense of playfulness and whimsy. Most seemed snapped out of a craggy old-world village with intentionally uneven roofs, lots of cobblestone, doors and windows which may look mismatched and odd-shaped. It took a foothold in California, particularly in Los Angeles, during the 1920s-1930s.〔Kreuzer, Nikki, "(Offbeat L.A.: Storybook Houses in Los Angeles )", "The Los Angeles Beat", February 14, 2013.〕 A primary example can be found in the 1927 Montclair, Oakland firehouse, and in a more traditional English cottage-style in the 1930 Montclair branch library. Idora Park in north Oakland, California is a four square block storybook architecture development begun in 1927 on the grounds of the old amusement park. Other examples in Los Angeles are the Snow White Cottages, designed in 1931 by architect Ben Sherwood, Charlie Chaplin Studios built in 1919 by architects Meyer & Holler, the Charlie Chaplin Cottages, built in 1923 by Arthur and Nina Zwebell, a husband-and-wife architectural team and The Hobbit House built between 1940-1970 by Disney artist Joseph Lawrence.
