Architecture of the 1900s

Victorian Architecture - This period in architecture was not exactly considered a style, but more so a period. This period dated from circa 1840-1900. During this time the industrial revolution had much influence on architectural style; there are many different styles, each with its own varied details. Types of styles ranged variously: Gothic Revival, Victorian Italianate, Second Empire of Mandard, etc.

Frank Lloyd Wright - Wright revolutionized American architecture. He believed that American style and tradition should stay with itself; and not base its designs on European architecture or other influences. Wright's deisgns were very unique; many were not painted and blended in with nature. Eventually Wright's innovative techniques and styles spread overseas and his ideas became known worldwide.
