French Normans Fall Through The Cracks of Ignorance. Neighborhood Committee and City both omit the entire category of 20 homes that were Charles Dilbeck’s specialty. Failure to recognize French Norman style could have been avoided with an impartial, expert inventory of home styles from the beginning of the process.
Be Aware:The City has mislabeled your house as a Tudor you must adhere to a set of style requirements that don’t fit your house. See Style Discrepancies will Cause Headaches for You. Please review carefully the relevant sections of the Draft Ordinance for Tudor houses like required roof pitch, chimney width and placement, and windows. There may be others.
Be aware: Be aware that the City lists the architect of your home as Charles S. Dilbeck but Dilbeck expert Willis WInters says your home is attributed to George Marble.

Shockingly, Spanish Revival is Overlooked as a Contributing Style because the City staff and Neighborhood Committee are unable to recognize its difference from Spanish Eclectic. The words “Spanish Revival” never came up in Neighborhood Meetings. During creation of the Draft Ordinance someone realized their mistake and snuck it into the Ordinance by jamming it between Spanish and Eclectic, creating the Spanish Revival/Eclectic mashup category. For self-proclaimed preservationists, this is sloppy and one of the many reasons we need to restart the process from the beginning with an expert, impartial Inventory of our house styles.

After the meetings, someone realized their mistake and snuck it into the Ordinance by jamming it between Spanish and Eclectic, creating the Spanish Revival/Eclectic mashup category.

A Compelling Reason to Redo this Process from the Beginning
Shockingly, Spanish Revival is Overlooked as a Contributing Style because the City staff and Neighborhood Committee are unable to recognize its difference from Spanish Eclectic. The words “Spanish Revival” never came up in Neighborhood Meetings. After the meetings, someone realized their mistake and snuck it into the Ordinance by jamming it between Spanish and Eclectic, creating the Spanish Revival/Eclectic mashup category. For self-proclaimed preservationists, this is sloppy and one of the many reasons we need to restart the process from the beginning with an expert, impartial Inventory of our house styles. More at Why The “Expansion” Process Must Start Over.

A Compelling Reason to Redo this Process from the Beginning
Shockingly, Spanish Revival is Overlooked as a Contributing Style because the City staff and Neighborhood Committee are unable to recognize its difference from Spanish Eclectic. The words “Spanish Revival” never came up in Neighborhood Meetings. After the meetings, someone realized their mistake and snuck it into the Ordinance by jamming it between Spanish and Eclectic, creating the Spanish Revival/Eclectic mashup category. For self-proclaimed preservationists, this is sloppy and one of the many reasons we need to restart the process from the beginning with an expert, impartial Inventory of our house styles. More at Why The “Expansion” Process Must Start Over.
