| Byzantine-Deco as a style refers to the characteristic of late neo-classical and Art Deco architecture to use neo-Byzantine massing with the main body of the building, displaying a Palladian sense of symetry. It was used mainly for important institutional and public buildings (libraries, war memorial, etc). It differs from the retrospective NeoByzantine style of the mid to late nineteenth century in that this style was mainly ecclesiastical and heavily ornamented. | ||
