| Once upon a time circa 1920, a Hollywood studio artist built a cottage with cozy corners, quirky angles, a sway back roof cape, half timbering and rough cast stucco with inlaid stone and clinker bricks. Throughout the U.S., others picked up on this theatrical fancy with nursery-rhyme themes. Storybook style is the outgrowth of European period revival styles: Spanish Colonial, Old English Cotswold Cottage, Rural French, and Norman Village.
