100-537: A narrower sense, refers to the period of and movement within Western architectural history during which a succession of antecedent and reminiscent styles were taken to by architects, roughly from the mid-18th century, and which was itself succeeded by Modernism around the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Notable revival styles include Neoclassical architecture (a revival of Classical architecture ), and Gothic Revival (a revival of Gothic architecture ). Revivalism

125-400: Is related to historicism . Western architecture of the 19th century, including Victorian architecture , is an example of Revivalism.

Whether their choice was Classical , medieval, or Renaissance, all Revivalists shared the strategy of advocating a particular style based on national history, one of the great enterprises of historians from the mid-18th to early 19th centuries. Only one historic period was claimed to be the only one capable of providing models grounded in national traditions, institutions, or values. Issues of style became matters of state.

250-521: The 1870s. American commercial builders quickly adopted the style. Shaw's eclectic designs often included Tudor elements, and this "Old English" style also became popular in the United States, where it became known (inaccurately) as the Queen Anne style.

British Victorian Queen Anne architecture empathises more closely with
