Jacobethan Revival Style
The Jacobethan Revival style derives from the architecture of the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I of Great Britain in the 16th century. Unlike other Revival styles, it is in fact a combination of elements from Elizabethan and Jacobean buildings. Brick walls with stone trim are standard materials; windows, gables and chimneys have distinctive shapes; arches, where they appear, are generally Tudor arches, a form of flattened pointed arch. Windows may be casements, and generally have stone mullions and transoms, often with small decorative stone tabs projecting into the surrounding brick. Many residential buildings after the turn of the century adopted the Jacobethan style, but it had its major impact on educational architecture. Houses of this style can be found in the private streets of the Central and North West End. (St. Louis, 1995)
