Gothic Style

Gothic2

The Gothic style of architecture dates back to Europe in the 1200s.   This home is an example of Gothic Revival, popular in the U.S. during the mid-1800s.

With Gothic-style windows with distinctive pointed arches; exposed framing timbers; and steep, vaulted roofs with cross-gables. Extravagant features may include towers and verandas. Ornate wooden detailing is generously applied as gable, window, and door trim.

The home pictured is located on the 600 block of Summit Avenue. Gothic style homes can be almost overwhelming they are so ornate, but this one is a bit simpler and has examples of all of the details that can be found in elaborate Gothic style homes of the same period.
