    346346AMERICAN COLONIAL<br />
    347 Refers to the culture and style of architecture created in the region of the current United States during the period when it was colonized by Europeans, primarily during the 17<sup>th</sup> and 18<sup>th</sup> centuries. The term generally refers specifically to the culture and styles of the British colonies on the East Coast of the United States, generally not including the French or Spanish colonies, which are usually called French colonial or Spanish colonial.<br />

    360360GREEK REVIVAL<br />
    361 Refers to a style of architecture in Europe and the United States begun in the 1750s in Europe, and flourishing there from the 1790s and then in this country from approximately 1815 to the 1850s, which was characterized by the use of classical Greek forms and ornament. Inspired by 18<sup>th</sup>-century archaeological discoveries, it attempted to follow closely original models. Greek revival buildings often look like temples, with a series of large stone or wood columns marking part or all of the structure, though there are many examples that emphasize Greek details rather than whole buildings. In the United States, it flourished at the time of the Greek war for independence from Turkey, and many saw the style as a manifestation of democracy.<br />

    367367ITALIANATE<br />
    368 A mid- to-late-19<sup>th</sup>-century architectural style, it was inspired by Italian Renaissance buildings, both the high-style urban palazzo and the less formal country villa. Often residential and often featuring a low-pitched hipped roof topped by a belvedere, or rooftop pavilions intended as lookouts or for the enjoyment of a view, it can also refer to more formal buildings ranging from commercial to public and residential.<br />

    374374GOTHIC REVIVAL<br />
    375 Refers mainly to a style that flourished first in England and then spread to the European continent but even more strongly to America, beginning in the mid- to late 18th century, triumphing in the mid-19th century, and continuing into the twentieth. The style is characterized by the use of pointed arches, rosettes, pinnacles, tracery, foils, and polychrome effects inspired by Gothic architecture and at times reproduced with the general aim of historical accuracy, though often the spirit was as important as the details. Especially associated with churches, it could also be found in a wide range of building types, including by the late 19<sup>th</sup> and 20th century examples in campus architecture in what came to be called Collegiate Gothic.<br />

    381381ROMANESQUE REVIVAL<br />
    382 Refers to a style in European and American architecture dating from the 1820s to the end of the 19th century that was based on 11th- and 12th-century Romanesque church architecture. It is primarily characterized by the use of semicircular arches, barrel and groin vaults, massive blocks of masonry and, at times, the spare use of Romanesque and/or naturalistic ornament. A specific variety, called Richardsonian Romanesque, was inspired by the architecture of the American H. H. Richardson, and flourished in the last three decades of the 19<sup>th</sup> century.<br />

    388388VICTORIAN STYLES<br />
    389 Refers to a wide variety of styles exhibited during the 19<sup>th</sup> century during Queen Victoria’s reign in Britain (1837-1900) and during the same period in the United States. Often labeled Romantic, these styles, which ranged from Italianate and Gothic revival to vernacular and Queen Anne revival, were expressed in all building types.<br />

    395395BEAUX-ARTS CLASSICISM<br />
    396 Refers to the revival of classicism, especially as practiced in Italy and France during the Renaissance and Baroque eras of the 15<sup>th</sup> to 18<sup>th</sup> centuries, that flourished in Europe and America in the late 19<sup>th</sup> and early 20<sup>th</sup> centuries. Inspired by the approach to architectural design espoused at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, this style included the use of classically articulated and often symmetrical massing, a primary axial orientation in plan (often with subsidiary axes), and hierarchically arranged and related internal spaces that offered the opportunity for a directed, processional movement through a building. Its flourishing in America coincided with the emergence of the United States as a world power.<br />

    402402COLONIAL REVIVAL<br />
    403 Refers to a movement in architecture and interior design prevalent in the late 19th century and well into the 20th that revives the styles of the 17<sup>th</sup>, 18<sup>th</sup>, and early 19<sup>th</sup> centuries in colonial and federal America. The style, though especially seen in domestic architecture, also was found in other building types. Subsumed within this general rubric was not only a revival of 17<sup>th</sup> century clapboard buildings, but also a Georgian revival, which was inspired by English and American architecture of the 18<sup>th</sup> century. This latter tends to feature symmetrical façades, often characterized by brick, pitched roofs, windows with sashes, and fanlights. It also often includes white painted trim and decorative moldings and elements.<br />
