ABSTRACT
In addition to New Mexico and California, several other states have examples of Pueblo or Santa Fe style buildings. Among these are Florida and Minnesota. The Minnesota buildings belong to the earliest period of Pueblo style. Edwin Hawley Hewitt was bom in 1874 in Red Wing, Minnesota, and died in 1939 in Minneapolis. The Florida land boom of the 1920s spawned a number of suburban developments in the newly drained savannahs and land-filled mangrove swamps surrounding Miami. George Merrick's Coral Gables featured a Mediterranean style in a heroic suburban network of plazas, boulevards, and gateways. Addison Mizner's Palm Beach mansions flaunted an architectural style more Spanish than Spain. Exterior finishes were typically rough-textured stucco with blunted or rounded corners. Flat roofs were hidden, Pueblo style, behind irregular parapets, with drainage allowed through exaggerated scuppers. Glenn Curtiss built the most magnificent Pueblo Revival home for himself and named it Dar-Err-Aha, Persian for house of contentment.
