Jacobethan is a
Revival style[?] derived from the
English Renaissance[?] (
1550 -
1625), with elements
Elizabethan[?] and
Jacobean[?].
Its main characteristics are rounded
arches, lighter stone
trims[?] around
windows and
doors, steep roof
gables[?], often
terra-cotta brickwork,
balustrades[?] and
parapets[?],
pillars[?] supporting
porches[?] and still the high
chimneys as in the Elixabethan style.
The Jacobethan Revival took place mainly during the late 19th century and the first 20 years of the 20th century, and apart from its origins in the UK[?] the style became popular both in Canada and almost every state of the US during those periods.
