Spanish Colonials

My parents were in Los Angeles recently and sent me a copy of Leon Whiteson’s article (“ ‘20s Spanish Style Needs No Revival,” March 5).

About a year ago, we moved into a Spanish Colonial home in Omaha. Spanish Colonial exists, but is not a common style here.

Our home was designed in 1925 by an Omaha architect and has all of the characteristics you mentioned except the white stucco. I think all of the Spanish Colonial homes we have seen in Omaha are of a dark beige stucco. However, we are interested in learning more about this style of architecture and, after reading your article, are considering re-stuccoing the house white.
