Period Revivals

Romanesque

Although the Romanesque style was not as universally popular in this century as it had been in the 1800s, like the Gothic Revival style it continued to be associated with ecs. Exterior walls surfaces are either well into the 1950s. This style was favored by architects over the earlier Gothic Revival style as it was simpler to design and construct and used classical design motifs in vogue at the time. It features gabled naves, blind arcades, steeply pitched gabled or hipped roof towers, buttresses, corbel tables, spandrels, monochromatic stone or brick surfaces, and round arched openings.
