Die Italianate-Architektur setzt den Trend zu asymmetrischem Design, Romantik und mittelalterlichen Einflüssen fort - dieses Mal mit Anleihen aus dem mittelalterlichen Italien. Der Italianate-Stil ist an der Ostküste weit verbreitet und erreichte zwischen 1850 und 1880 seinen Höhepunkt der Popularität.
Italianate architecture continues the trend of asymmetrical design, romanticism, and Medieval influence — this time borrowing features from Medieval Italy. Italianate style is common up and down the East Coast and peaked in popularity between 1850 and 1880.
Italianate architecture features:
- Belvederes for natural light and airflow
- Overhanging eaves with decorative support brackets
- Tall and narrow or pedimented windows with rounded crowns
- Cast iron detailing and decor
Pattern books were becoming a popular way for craftsmen to build homes in different styles. This flexibility meant Italianate features were accessible for a variety of homes including large estates and urban townhouses.
