Architects of the nineteenth century who worked in historicist revival styles, Gothic Revival and Beaux-Arts eclecticism, drawing deliberately on earlier historical vocabularies rather than inventing new ones. Belongs here: any architect whose defining practice sits in this nineteenth-century revivalist and eclectic period, before the modern movement breaks from historical quotation. Does not belong here: an architect of the strict eighteenth-century neoclassical period, or an early modernist rejecting historicism outright.
