Italianate Style
The Italianate architectural style is also referred to as 'Roman'.
It is Classical in its form but in addition has elements such as:
- overhanging and heavily bracketed eaves
- a low, gently pitched roof
- half-round topped sash windows sometimes grouped in threes
- stucco ground floor and cornices
- balconies with railings
- pediments over some windows
It is an easy style to spot as most Italianate houses have many of these features.
