following 1827, the year of the battle of Navarino, though the term does not appear in French
writing until 1860 or later." 1537
"An architectural style developed in France in the 1840s, applying Greek forms to brick and cast
iron." 1538
Norman architecture - architecture of the Middle Ages, characterized by massive construction,
Roman arches, and round turrets, often including crenellated parapets.
"Norman architecture - The Romanesque architecture of England from the Norman Conquest
(1066) until the rise of the Gothic around 1180." 1539
Palladian - design attributes introduced by the Italian architect Andrea Palladio in the sixteenth
century, and often employing symmetry and a triple-window opening, arranged with a center
round-arched window flanked by shorter, rectangular openings.
"Palladianism - A mode of building following the strict Roman forms, as set forth in the
publications of the Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580); particularly in
England under the influence of Lord Burlington in the 18 th cent." 1540
Queen Anne - based on English precedent and popular in America in the 1870s and 1880s. This
style is characterized by asymmetry, the use of round or faceted turrets, combinations of siding
or building materials, threaded chimneys, and a stylized sunburst or sunflower motif.
"The architecture existing in England during the short reign of Anne, 1702 to 1714. The more
important structures of the reign were generally the completion of designs fixed in all of their
parts before her accession, and but little that was monumental was begun in her time. . . . A
certain picturesqueness of treatment, like a revival of Elizabethan, or even of mediæval styles, in
mass, in sky line, and in such details as chimneys, gables, and dormer windows, is noticeable in
these; and, although all is on the same moderate scale, and nothing is very massive or imposing,
the style has considerable attraction when applied to dwelling houses. It was this character of
the buildings of Anne's reign which caused their acceptance by some architects of the years from
1865 to 1885, in England, as types for modern designing, and country houses of this character
were built in considerable numbers. A feeble imitation of these modern buildings was also
attempted in the United States, but usually on a very small scale, and with such inappropriate
materials as those used in the ordinary frame construction." 1541
"Irregularity of plan and massing and variety of color and texture characterize the Queen Anne
Style. Several different wall surfaces may occur in one building; brick for the ground story with
shingles or horizontal boards above is a common combination. There may be some halftimbering
- perhaps only in a gable or two. Upper stories may project beyond those below.
Windows are of many forms . . . Bay windows are much employed. Roofs are high and multiple,
