Gothic Revival
Gothic Revival is best characterized by the pointed-arched window, steeply pitched roof, and picturesque composition.
The English/French examples are predominately ecclesiastical and are vernacular versions of late Medieval churches. Characteristic elements include massive towers, either flat or topped by a spire, stepped and flying buttresses, deeply recessed openings, steeply pitched roofs, pointed arches, and masonry construction.
