| Capturing the spirit of classical details on a smaller
scale and the revival of old world styles, the Colonial Revival Style
reflects a new interpretation of classical orders with a distinctively
American feel. Historic styles unique to colonial architecture found
new life during the 1920s and 1930s, as architecture began to increasingly
reflect the homeowner’s wealth. A renewed sense of national
pride arrives, and along with it comes a revival of a classical architectural
style that is slightly smaller in scale, and just as eye-catching.
Taken from a turn of the century molding catalog, patterns of this
Style use mostly 3/4" material tied together meticulously for
a feeling of detailed grandeur perfect for today’s style of
homes. Particularly notable in the collection is the picture molding,
with a turn of the century crown treatment to create a classical
symbol when placed a few inches beneath the crown. |
