Beginning in the second half of the 1930s, and continuing in the two decades following World War Il, the late Colonial Revival departed from the more literal historicism of the previous balf-century and was often reduced to a few signature elements. These features include stylized door surrounds; pseudo-quoined corners; multi -paned casement or double -hung sash windows, often framed by decorative shutters; circular, oval, or octagonal accent windows, and eaves nearly flush with the exterior walls. Ahipped roof subtype sometimes contained Regency references such as bow and bay windows. Another popular subtype was split-level, ranch, or Cape Cod in appearance and plan, and normally topped by gabled roofs. The materials used in the late Colonial Revival were similar to those of the earlier period—wood, brick, stone, and sutcco—although stacco came to be used more frequently than before (McAlester, 320-539).
