Richardsonian Romanesque collection I


Richardsonian Romanesque was designed by Henry Hobson Richardson (which is where it gets its name from). Richardsonian Romanesque is known for its rough hewn brown, red, and grey stone walls, rough pasterns, stone arches, and stone colonnades, which make the style look both organic, and fortress like. The style was popular in the Victorian era between 1875 and around 1900. Many fine examples can be found in the Northeast and Midwest in Fine neighborhoods alongside other gilded Victorian styles, including Neoclassical, Second Empire, Italianate, and Queen Anne Buildings.
