European-trained architects, influenced by Old World styles, brought the eclectic, asymmetrical Tudor style homes to America toward the end of the nineteenth century. Built for wealthy homeowners, Tudor houses were of solid masonry with elaborate decorative stone and brickwork. They were sometimes called Stockbroker Tudor because their financially successful owners had frequently made their wealth in the booming 1920s stock market. Tudor homes are characterized by their steeply pitched gable roofs, playfully elaborate masonry chimneys (often with chimney pots), embellished doorways, groupings of windows, and decorative half-timbering (this last an exposed wood framework with the spaces between the timbers filled with masonry or stucco).
