Gothic Revival House Plan Features
Steeply Pitched Cross-Gable Roof
Constructed of stone and brick, and later wood frame, these distinctively American style homes typically feature a steeply pitched roof and cross gables, vertical batten siding or lacy gingerbread "bargeboards" and a one story porch, while others sport romantic crenellated towers and parapets.
Decorative Touches
Windows in Gothic Revival house plans often have pointed arches and diamond shaped panes although double hung windows with two-panes over two panes are most common. Decorative touches include elaborate buttresses, lacy pinnacles, and decorative tracery in the leaded glass windows accentuating the dollhouse appeal of the Gothic Revival home.
