American Italianate homes are noted for their bracketed eaves, tall, narrow windows, and sometimes a cupola or tower. Their façades often feature heavily molded cornices and arched window crowns, evoking the romantic ideal of an Italian Renaissance villa.
Popular in the mid-19th century (roughly 1840–1885), this style was championed by architects like Alexander Jackson Davis and Andrew Jackson Downing. Its spread coincided with America’s fascination with European culture and the Picturesque movement, resulting in a graceful, stately form well-suited to both urban and rural landscapes.
