"The red-tile roofs, white stucco walls, and wood-beam ceilings
that have become synonymous with Santa Barbara’s Spanish-derivative
architecture are owed as much to architects James Osborne Craig and
Mary McLaughlin Craig. . . [Spanish Colonial
Style] anthologizes James Osborne Craig’s works spanning 1915
to 1922 and Mary McLaughlin Craig’s later embellishments (from 1923
until 1956), creating a fluid evolution of the aesthetic that made
Santa Barbara architecturally relevant on an international
scale."
