Identifying features include the <br />front-facing gable roof, ornate decoration of wood or metal along the eave and in the gable end, avoidance of flat wall surfaces <br />through the use of applied ornamentation of wood or metal, and classical columns or pilasters. Multi-storied residential and <br />commercial examples often incorporated bay windows, sometimes topped with towers. The style borrowed heavily from late <br />Medieval models, with the addition of other regional interpretations. Some of the most well developed examples can be found in <br />California and in the Southern states (McAlester, 263-268). <br />  <br />    <br />
