Spanish Colonial Revival architecture shares some elements with the earlier [[Mission Revival Style Architecture|Mission Revival style]] derived from the [[architecture of the California missions]], and [[Pueblo Revival Style architecture|Pueblo Revival style]] from the traditional [[Puebloan peoples]] in [[New Mexico]]. Both precedents were popularized in the [[Western United States]] by [[Fred Harvey Company|Fred Harvey]] and his [[Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway]] Depots and Hotels. The Spanish Colonial Revival style is also influenced by the [[American Craftsman]] style and [[Arts and Crafts Movement]].

Spanish Colonial Revival architecture is characterized by a combination of detail from several eras of [[Spanish Baroque architecture|Spanish Baroque]], [[Spanish Colonial architecture|Spanish Colonial]], [[Moorish Revival architecture|Moorish Revival]] and Mexican [[Churrigueresque]] architecture. The style is marked by the prodigious use of smooth [[plaster]] ([[stucco]]) [[wall]] and [[chimney]] finishes, low-[[Roof pitch|pitched]] [[clay]] [[Roof tiles|tile]], shed, or flat roofs, and [[terracotta]] or [[Casting#Plaster, concrete, or plastic resin|cast]] [[concrete]] ornaments. Other characteristics typically include small [[porch]]es or [[Balcony|balconies]], [[Roman architecture|Roman]] or [[Semicircle|semi-circular]] [[Arcade (architecture)|arcades]] and [[window|fenestration]], wood [[Casement window|casement]] or tall, [[Sash window|double–hung windows]], [[canvas]] [[awning]]s, and decorative [[iron]] trim.
