Mayan Revival architecture

Nineteenth-Century Revival and Eclectic Architecture

Mayan Revival is a modern architectural style that was popular in the Americas during the 1920s and 1930s. It drew its inspiration from the architecture and iconography of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures, adapting Maya and other Mesoamerican forms and motifs for contemporary buildings.
