Spanish Colonial Revived

A warm sea breeze drifting off the coast of the Mediterranean is all that is missing in the 1928 Spanish Colonial Revival home of this Bexley family. Characterized by arches, curves, decorative ironwork and hand-painted tiles, the architectural style that became popular in the early 20th century is carefully preserved - and enhanced - through an extensive remodel the family undertook earlier this year.
