| The Richardsonian
Romanesque style was created by H.H. Richardson,
and it lasted from about 1870-1900. It was characterized by
massive stone construction, broad round arches, towers, squat columns, deeply
set windows, deep door openings, and little ornamentation. It was also
very popular in churches,
university buildings, railway stations, and courthouses. |

The
Richardsonian Romanesque style was a revival of the French and Spanish Romanesque
periods of the 11th century. The keynotes of Richardson's style are unity
and continuity. His style also used some of both the 2nd Empire Baroque
and High Victorian Gothic styles. He was also a great influence
on Chicago's famous artists, Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan. |
