Why does it matter?
Answer: Ironically Spanish Revival is Non-Contributing
Some Committee Members live in Spanish Revival homes, as do many others in the Expansion area. Yet, neither the City nor the Neighborhood Committee ever proposed that Spanish Revival styles are Contributing. Neither the Neighborhood Committee nor the CIty nor anyone else uttered the words “Spanish Revival” in any of the 15 Neighborhood Meetings at all (see below for the slides from Meetings Regarding styles).
