 GOTHIC REVIVAL
The mid-19th century was dominated by the Gothic Revival. This intentional
movement originated in England to revive Gothic forms.

The use of pointed arches, stained glass windows, elegant furniture,

and detailed decorations are some of the defining characteristics
of this style.

 ITALIANATE
Even though it was developed in Great Britain, the Italianate style receives its
name from how it parallels the designs of the Italian Renaissance. During
the Industrial Revolution, British architects mass-produced cast-iron
ornamentation to pay respect to the charming and luxurious homes that
might be found in the Italian countryside.

Italianates typically feature a square plan and can be two to three

floors tall. It's easy to recognize an Italianate home by its gently
sloping roof and broad overhanging eaves.

 SECOND EMPIRE
The Second Empire style, the Napoleon III style, is a highly eclectic form of
architecture and decorative arts. This style incorporates various historical
kinds and makes inventive use of contemporary materials, such as iron
frameworks and glass skylights.

The iron cresting on the roof, the highly bracketed cornices, the quoins,
and the balustrades are all examples of decorative embellishments. The
overall appearance is one that is colossal and grandiose, which is fitting
given the roots of the architecture in the Napoleonic era.

 QUEEN ANNE
This style was one of several famous Victorian architectural styles. It was
popular during this period and followed styles such as the Stick and Second
Empire styles. It came before the Richardsonian Romanesque style and the
Shingle style. The Eastlake movement is considered a sub-movement of the
Queen Anne style.

Queen Anne architecture features stone dressings such as quoins,

exposed brick, hipped roofs, dormer windows, sash windows, platbands,
and cornices.

 STICK STYLE
The Stick style was a residential architectural trend prevalent in the United
States between 1860 and 1970. The Stick style favored an effect that imitated
half-timbering and hard boards affixed to the outside walls in grids meant
to simulate the structure of the building's underlying framework.

Stick style structures frequently extend the space beyond the footprint,
sometimes to the point where it is possible to read the interior space from
outside the building. This was done rather than partitioning the space inside a
straightforward rectangular or cross-shaped plan into rooms and halls.

 SHINGLE STYLE
The advent of the New England School of Architecture in the United States,
which rejected the highly ornate patterns of the Eastlake style found in
Queen Anne buildings. In favor of a simpler, more straightforward look, is
mainly credited with popularizing the shingle style of American
architecture.

Shingle Style architecture emphasizes irregular and asymmetrical shapes and

forms, cladding the exterior walls and roofing in a smooth wood shingle skin
with no corner boards.
