Colonial Revival architecture

 

Colonial Revival architecture is an architectural style that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily in the United States. It draws inspiration from the architecture of colonial America, particularly the styles of the 17th and 18th centuries. This style is characterized by symmetrical facades, gable roofs, dormer windows, and columns. Colonial Revival buildings often incorporate elements from various colonial periods, creating an eclectic blend of design elements. This style was popular for residential homes, government buildings, and institutions, reflecting a nostalgic appreciation for early American history and design.
