The International style originated in France in the 1920s in an effort to make buildings and homes more streamlined and functional. Characteristics of the style include flat rooflines, multi-dimensional facades, smooth or stucco walls, irregular shape, large window groupings and linear components through the use of materials or fenestrations. Buildings designed in this style usually had little to no ornamentation. Another popular element used in this style were glass block or glass brick windows. This lightweight material allowed light into the building while also providing structural support. An example of the International style in Brownsville is the Spencer Medical Clinic at 107 N. Lafayette Avenue. Built in 1938 by Dr. Hayes and owned and operated as a doctor’s clinic throughout its use. Dr. Welch of Savannah, GA held a practice until 1970 when it sold to Dr. Spencer.
