Gothic Revival

The Gothic Revival style was inspired by the medieval design that came before it.  This style was part of the mid-19th century romantic movement associated with architecture.
This style that was mostly in America was enhanced and advanced by Alexander Jackson Davis and Andrew Jackson Downing, architects and authors of Rural Residences(1837), Cottage Residences(1842) and The Architecture of Country Houses(1850).
The Gothic revival style was also a popular style for churches. They had castle-like towers, parapets and pointed arched windows.
