Colonial Revival architecture

Colonial Revival architecture is a style that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily in the United States. It draws inspiration from the colonial buildings of the 17th and 18th centuries, reflecting a nostalgia for America's early history. Key features include symmetrical facades, double-hung windows, decorative pediments, and often a front porch. This style was popular for homes, public buildings, and even universities, embodying a sense of tradition and national pride. It aimed to evoke the simplicity and craftsmanship of early American architecture, adapting it for modern tastes and lifestyles.
