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. 圣巴巴拉经典西班牙风格房屋的颂歌。西班牙殖民风格是为了庆祝一种非凡的建筑传统,其特征包括粉刷过的灰泥和灰泥墙、木梁天花板、引人注目的壁炉,最重要的是神秘和浪漫。这种备受喜爱的建筑风格的住宅欢迎游客并拥抱居民,建筑师詹姆斯·奥斯本-克雷格和玛丽·麦克劳林·克雷格是这种风格的早期支持者和有影响力的传播者,他们都是这种形式的大师。到目前为止,他们的工作在很大程度上被低估,很少被人看到。 克雷格夫妇在西班牙殖民复兴运动和圣巴巴拉其他建筑风格的发展中发挥了关键作用,他们的作品的影响远远超出了这一点。除了让人们关注这些极具影响力的建筑师的丰富职业生涯之外,西班牙殖民风格还将圣巴巴拉誉为20世纪上半叶具有国际重要性的小城市。
