HISTORY: The Southwestern style, which reached its heyday in the 1920s, was an eclectic mix of styles and sources, from Native American pueblo, to Mexican Mission, to Spanish Renaissance. Even elements of New England Colonial worked their way into the mix through the influence of schools and outposts built by the Federal government.
When Rancho Santa Fe, in San Diego County began to grow, Lillian Jenette Rice was commissioned to provide a series of designs for small, single story homes in the Southwestern style. Her skillful work incorporated graceful exterior details with floor plans centered around sheltered courtyards and patios, an arrangement ideal for the climate of the southwest. Her homes are as livable today as when they were first built in the 1920s. Her floor plans require almost no alteration to be brought into line with current expectations.
