| October 2013 Pic of the Month Gothic Revival: An “Alternative” Trend for Victorian Americans |
|
Prominent architect Andrew Jackson Downing—a big fan of the Gothic Revival—offered house designs in this picturesque style for middle-class Americans in his 1842 book, Cottage Residences. This illustration has the most self-conscious gothic elements—in the chimneys, windows, and the “gingerbread” detail in the central gable. THF.110992 |
