Gothic Revival Style Home

A Revival reminiscent of the medieval churches built in France and England, the cottage version of a Victorian style home has been handed down to us from the traditions of A.J. Downing. His recreation of the Gothic Style became quite popular within the United States.

Considered a romantic style, the Gothic has one distinct characteristic not seen in any other form of architecture—its windows.

Common Gothic Revival features may include:

Windows Arch to a Central Point

1, 1-1/2, and 2 Stories

Steep Gable Over Front Entry

Batten and Board Siding

Extensive Vergeboard (Bargeboard) Ornamentation
