Hamilton! - Gallery 27 - Spanish-Influenced Architecture

Featured Replies

Posted

Almost every neighborhood in Hamilton with housing from the 1920's includes examples of Spanish-influenced architecture. This collection isn't comprehensive, but I thought it would be interesting to throw a set together.

Nice!  Many of those look well cared for.

 

I've always liked that style. In the 1920s the interurban lines in the Insull empire used it in their stations, few of which survive. I remember the former station in Bluffton, Indiana, repurposed as a Ford dealership in my youth.

 

The South Shore station in Beverly Shores is the best, perhaps only, surviving Insull-era station I know of:

very interesting.

 

i like that spanish style era. these are good examples of how flexible it is, it adapts/meshes well with other styles of those times, like deco.

 

hamilton! looks like they were just as heavily into it as dayton was.

 

 

The Dayton of Hamilton!

my friend used to live at 4410 hamilton avenue! i love that there is a separated garage and porch i gives it a great vibe. he didn't like it because it's next to a cemetery and he thinks it's haunted.

Very neat, thanks for showing!
