Gothic Revival is best characterized by the pointed-arched
window, steeply pitched roof, and picturesque composition.
The English/French examples are predominately ecclesiastical
and are vernacular versions of late Medieval churches. Characteristic
elements include massive towers, either flat or topped by a spire,
stepped and flying buttresses, deeply recessed openings, steeply
pitched roofs, pointed arches, and masonry construction. |
