Late 19th Century American Architecture at Loggia | Exploring Architectural Styles and Periods

Late 19th Century American Architecture

Stick Style | derived from the Carpenter Gothic style, the Stick Style embodies the idea that architecture should be truthful.

Queen Anne | the Queen Anne style can be summarized in one word: eclecticism. The rich, picturesque style is characterized by an asymmetrical silhouette shaped by turrets, towers, gables, and bays.

Shingle Style | an uniquely American style, the Shingle Style grew from the Queen Anne style. Popular in New England, the Shingle Style was less ornate and more horizontal than the typical Queen Anne house.

Richardsonian Romanesque | interpreting Romanesque architecture into a distinctly different style, architect H.H. Richardson created a style which abandoned the vertical silhouettes and smooth stone facings of earlier times.

Beaux Arts | named for the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, this style refers to the aesthetic principles practiced by the American architects who trained there.

Classical Revival | less theatrical than the Beaux Arts, the Classical Revival style is based primarily on the Greek architectural orders.
