Tudor styling inside is less common since roaring hearths are neither practical in the 21st century (nor in year-round sunny Southern California). However, this style’s eclecticism can lead to some surprisingly innovative and modern exteriors in contrast to their archaic façades. Low-pitched gabled roofs are an identifying feature of these homes, which tend to consist of a single floor spread out over a comparatively large floor plan. They are generally asymmetrical in layout and feature large front porches and exposed wooden structural elements. What follows is a detailed look at each of the predominant architectural styles of homes in Los Angeles. This was also the era of planned subdivisions like Hollywoodland (in upper Beachwood Canyon), Whitley Heights, and Outpost Estates.

Hannah Kelly, R-Mountain View, said she considers the committee’s work complete. At issue is a report from the House Ethics Committee report calling for Plocher to be reprimanded.

Since mid-March, TikTok has spent $5 million on TV ads opposing the legislation, according to AdImpact, an advertising tracking firm. The ads have included a range of content creators, including a nun, extolling the positive impacts of the platform on their lives and arguing a ban would trample on the First Amendment.

These homes are always imposing, sometimes multi-storied, and always asymmetrical. Since they are inspired by an archaic age where right angles were rare, geometric variety is celebrated. Roofs may incorporate concave eaves and boxed-in porches and windows, sometimes extending for multiple stories. A sub-genre, Minimal Traditional, alludes to smaller homes that follow the core principles of Traditional design.

Windows on bungalows tend to be double-hung with single panes and simple wooden casements. These homes' interiors are often open-plan with built-in cabinetry incorporated into large fireplaces, such as benches on either side. Present-day exemplars of this mode might incorporate aspects of other styles, especially Craftsman elements, while incorporating the large open-plan interiors, flat roofs, and sculptural forms familiar to the classic modernist period of the 20s, 30s, and 40s. Daring to use modern materials such as steel, poured concrete, and large panes of glass, modernist architecture proved both practical to build and very fashionable. Comfortable open-plan interiors were softened with designer furnishings, and these homes were often intended to be admired as works of art and showcases for design collections. Normandy's provincial homes featured narrow-eave, steep-hipped roofs, with side-facing gables and sometimes an L-shaped plan placing the front door at the junction of the two wings.

The American Craftsman style is an indigenous form of domestic architecture based loosely upon the 19th century English Arts and Crafts movement. Its name comes from a magazine founded in 1901 by furniture-maker Gustav Stickley, The Craftsman. Craftsman style flourished from about 1905 into the 1930s and remains a very desirable style of residence today.

Hybrid cottage styles might include small porches and gabled dormers in attic stories. Balconies and bay windows are other possible modifications features in more extensive examples of this style. Front doors may be wooden with period detailing and rounded tops containing small glass panels. Homeowners often encourage climbing plants such as ivy or wisteria to add a decorative flourish. The large covered front porches of these Craftsman-style homes are a crucial attribute, emphasizing relaxation and welcome.
