JACOBEAN REVIVAL

2534 20th ST.
Jacobean Revival

Jacobean, the term applied to 17th-century English architecture during the reign of King James I, is characterized by a mixture of English medieval traditions with Classical Revival elements. Here the porch features classically shaped balusters as well as full-height classical columns supporting an austere horizontal frieze. The principal material is brick, but the windows of the upper stories are set in stone surrounds featuring quoins. On both front and sides, a steeply pointed gable harks back to medieval sources.
