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
