Kenilworth’s Expansion, 1915 – 1925<\/h1>\n

A series of five annexations doubled the original acreage purchased by Joseph Sears in 1889 and enabled further architectural development throughout the village<\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The residential architecture of the newly annexed areas reflected the trends of the time. After World War I, American homeowners desired more traditional designs in contrast to the experimental styles of the early twentieth century. Revivalist architecture, such as Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Italian Renaissance Revival, became prevalent in Kenilworth.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
