| Essential Architecture- Search by style Richardsonian Romanesque | ||
The forms of the Romanesque Revival actually derive from the 11th and 12-century architecture of France and Spain, although the style enjoyed a resurgence in the 1880s partly due to the work of architect Henry Hobson Richardson. It was used for many building types, including houses, clubs, and commercial buildings, before its popularity ended in the late 1890s.  Common characteristics are: -heavy, rough-cut stone walls -round arches and squat columns -deeply recessed windows -pressed metal bays and turrets | ||
