====Colonial californiano==== The style, as developed in the United States, came full circle to its geographic point of inspiration as in the late 1930s, single-family houses were built in [[Mexico City]]'s then-new upscale neighborhoods in what is known in Mexico as ''colonial californiano'' ('''Californian Colonial'''). That is, a Mexican reinterpretation of the California interpretation of Spanish Colonial Revival.<ref>{{cite book|title=Artifacts of Revolution: Architecture, Society, and Politics in Mexico City|author=Patrice Elizabeth Olsenand|date=11 September 2008|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BG4iQvOQ8isC&pg=PA202|page=202|publisher=Rowman & Littlefield Publishers |isbn=9780742557314}}</ref> Many houses of this style can still be seen in the [[Colonia Nápoles]], [[Condesa]], [[Polanco]] and [[Lomas de Chapultepec]] areas of Mexico City. The [[Pasaje Polanco]] shopping court is an example of the style's application in commercial architecture.
