Chateauesque-lite

During the interbellum period, Revival styles crowded the stage, including several based on precedents established in French domestic architecture.  The second phase Chateauesque shared many characteristics with the Chateauesque, chiefly towers, the use of narrow, vertical windows, and steeply pitched roofs. 

In Los Angeles, this largely asymmetrically-massed second wave was often grafted to the high-whimsy, and similarly medieval-inspired Storybook style. 

Most of the original thatch-emulating roofs, which featured shingled courses of great--and seemingly random--variation have been lost, though the rolled eaves (visible at the gable ends) endure.

The style is also sometimes conflated with the Normandie Revival which features the sort of half-timbering associated with the Tudor.

Entrances are almost always through arched openings in the towers.
