French Provincial architecture, also known as French Eclectic architecture, is a revivalist style based on the manor houses and chateaux built by French aristocrats beginning in the 1600s, characterized by arched doorways, symmetrically placed elements, and homes usually two stories tall with steep hipped roofs. The style came to the United States after American servicemen returned home having fought in France during the First World War.
