Renaissance Revival

From HistoryWiki

The churches and palaces of Renaissance Italy were the inspiration for this revival style. In Chicago, it mainly was used for churches and institutional buildings, between 1890 and 1930.

Common characteristics are:

round-arched windows and arcades (i.e., covered walkways or porches, formed by rows of arches resting on columns)

profusion of triangular and round-arched pediments

prominent cornices
