Beautiful Brick Gothic Revival

Beautiful brick Gothic Revival house. The Gothic Revival style became popular in the middle of the 19th century. Architectural plan books like A. J. Downing’s “The Architecture of Country Houses” helped to spread the style from coast to coast in America. The style allowed for great creativity by the builder and the detail on these houses is endlessly varied.

Many Gothic Revival houses were built of wood, so-called Carpenter Gothic houses. But many masonry examples exist as well, like this brick house. This image is courtesy of Wikimedia and I do not know where the house is located.

Gothic Revival is one of 25 styles described and illustrated in Chapter 2 of Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.
