Spanish Colonial Style
Author: Pamela Skewes-Cox
Publisher: Rizzoli Publications
ISBN: 0847846121
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
An ode to the classic Spanish-style houses of Santa Barbara. Spanish Colonial Style celebrates an extraordinary tradition in architecture whose hallmarks include whitewashed stucco and plaster walls, wood-beamed ceilings, dramatic fireplaces, and, above all, mystery and romance. Homes in this much-loved style of architecture welcome the visitor and embrace the resident, and architects James Osborne Craig and Mary McLaughlin Craig, early proponents of the style and influential disseminators of it, were masters of the form. Their work, until now, has been largely underappreciated and little seen. The Craigs played pivotal roles in the development of the Spanish Colonial Revival and of other styles of architecture in Santa Barbara, and the influence of their work spread much beyond that. In addition to shining a long overdue spotlight on the rich career of these tremendously influential architects, Spanish Colonial Style also heralds Santa Barbara as the small city of international importance that it became in the first half of the twentieth century.

Passage from one of my stories. The train had just entered the last and longest tunnel. We were allready late for our arrival in the town of El Fuerte. Suddenly all hell erupted---the train stopped---the engines stopped! Gunshots resounded from the car in front! Terrified passengers came running through our car, trying to escape. from what? What was happening? My companion and I dropped to the floor. I started praying, The light of God surrounds us, the love of God enfolds us, the power of God protects us, and the presence of God watches over us. Wherever we are God is'
