About Pueblo Revival Architecture
Pueblo Revival Architecture in Phoenix History
Also known as Spanish Colonial Pueblo or Santa Fe style (1910s-1930s) — While primarily based on the homes of Native American tribes, Pueblo Revival architecture is also influenced by Spanish Colonial, Spanish Mission and Territorial designs. Over the centuries, these fusions made Pueblo homes very diverse. They may include Greek Revival window trim or have deeply inset windows with no sills. Some have flat or sloped roofs, while others have pitched roofs. And this is only a small taste of the variety that these homes offer. All typically include smooth earth-toned walls with curved edges, wood beams that pierce the exterior, and parapets of various styles. During the period revival movement at the turn of the 20th century, the Pueblo home in all of its diverse forms regained popularity.

Pueblo Revival Benefits & Care
Pueblo Revival homes are made for the desert. The Native Americans’ special materials and building methods made their homes naturally cool and perfect for the southwest. Revivals provide the same superior insulation, with thick walls that absorb heat during the day and slowly release warmth into the home throughout the night.
While there are Pueblo Revival homes with gable and hip roofs, many have flat roofs, which present the biggest challenges for this architecture. Even though they are made with a highly durable material, older models generally lack effective drainage systems. And while later models have more modern drainage systems, they are typically made with drywall which is less durable.
Both are susceptible to leaks and rotting for these reasons, so home inspections are incredibly important. Wood beams should also be checked for issues with moisture and insects. Cracked stucco is another problem to look out for. This could indicate foundation issues and other potential problems.
