Home›Buildings and Structures›Style›Colonial Revival ArchitectureStyles and MovementsColonial Revival ArchitectureNineteenth-Century Revival and Eclectic ArchitectureReference and ClassificationDevelopingColonial Revival is an architectural style that seeks to revive elements of American colonial building, with its beginnings often attributed to the Centennial Exhibition of 1876, which renewed American interest in the architectural traditions of the colonial past. Relatively few Colonial Revival houses were built between about 1880 and 1910, a period when Queen Anne style architecture dominated American building, but the movement became ascendant between 1910 and 1930, when roughly forty percent of American houses were built in the Colonial Revival style. Beyond architecture, the term is also applied to related movements in historic preservation, landscape and garden design, and the decorative arts, and it produced its own regional variants, including the Dutch Colonial Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival styles.Colonial Revival ArchitectureConnectionsIn the Other AtlasesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)Colonial Revival ArchitectureFilter Results42 entriesBuilding FamilyAllCentral Virginia (2)Coastal Virginia (1)Cottages and Small Houses (1)Executive, Head-of-State and Diplomatic Buildings (1)Factories, Mills, Breweries and Works (1)Farmsteads and Homesteads (6)Farmsteads and Homesteads of the Northeastern United States (2)Farmsteads and Homesteads of the Southern United States (3)Farmsteads and Homesteads of the Western United States (1)Historic Homes and Farms (Misfiled) (2)Historic Houses (Individual Landmarks) (14)Historic Houses of the Midwestern and Western United States (2)Historic Houses of the New York City Region (2)Historic Houses of the Rest of the Northeastern United States (1)Historic Houses of the Southern United States (2)Historic Houses of Upstate New York (7)Manor and Country Houses (3)Museums and Galleries (2)Museums of North America (2)Palaces of North America (1)Plantation Houses (11)Plantation Houses: Alabama (1)Plantation Houses: Georgia (2)Plantation Houses: North Carolina (1)Plantation Houses: South Carolina (2)Plantation Houses: Tennessee (1)Plantation Houses: Virginia (4)Schools and Educational Buildings (2)Shenandoah Valley (1)MaterialAllBrick (10)Granite (1)Stone (5)Stucco (3)Timber (10)Building TypeAllArt Museum (1)Brewery (1)Farm (4)Historic house (11)House (5)Manor (1)Museum (2)Plantation (9)Plantation House (3)Residential (1)two-and-half story building (1)Villa (6)Completed YearAll1719 (1)1735 (1)1780 (1)1795 (1)1805 (1)1810 (1)1811 (1)1822 (1)1825 (2)1832 (1)1845 (1)1850 (1)1852 (1)1869 (1)1870 (1)1876 (1)1878 (1)1883 (1)1884 (1)1885 (1)1890 (1)1892 (1)1896 (1)1900 (1)1901 (1)1902 (2)1906 (2)1912 (1)1920 (1)1922 (1)1925 (1)1927 (1)1930 (2)1934 (1)1936 (2)Standing StatusAllStanding (42)GroupAllCentral Virginia (2)Coastal Virginia (1)Cottages and Small Houses (1)Executive, Head-of-State and Diplomatic Buildings (1)Factories, Mills, Breweries and Works (1)Farmsteads and Homesteads of the Northeastern United States (2)Farmsteads and Homesteads of the Southern United States (3)Farmsteads and Homesteads of the Western United States (1)Historic Homes and Farms (Misfiled) (2)Historic Houses of the Midwestern and Western United States (2)Historic Houses of the New York City Region (2)Historic Houses of the Rest of the Northeastern United States (1)Historic Houses of the Southern United States (2)Historic Houses of Upstate New York (7)Manor and Country Houses (3)Museums of North America (2)Palaces of North America (1)Plantation Houses: Alabama (1)Plantation Houses: Georgia (2)Plantation Houses: North Carolina (1)Plantation Houses: South Carolina (2)Plantation Houses: Tennessee (1)Schools and Educational Buildings (2)Shenandoah Valley (1)PlaceAllAustralia (1)United States (41)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 42Anthony-Buckley HouseColonial Revival ArchitectureBates-Englehardt MansionColonial Revival ArchitectureBeechwood (Vanderlip Mansion)Colonial Revival ArchitectureBoone HallColonial Revival ArchitectureBox Hall PlantationColonial Revival ArchitectureBox Hill EstateColonial Revival ArchitectureCarr's HillColonial Revival ArchitectureChapel Hill (Berryville, Virginia)Colonial Revival ArchitectureChapman House (Syracuse, New York)Colonial Revival ArchitectureChase-Hubbard-Williams HouseColonial Revival ArchitectureChester PlantationColonial Revival ArchitectureChesterwood (Massachusetts)Colonial Revival ArchitectureChetolahColonial Revival ArchitectureCliffside (Palisades, New York)Colonial Revival ArchitectureCurles Neck PlantationColonial Revival ArchitectureDistin CottageColonial Revival ArchitectureEdward A.
