ROMANESQUE REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE

'Romanesque Revival' (or 'Neo-Romanesque') is a style of building in the late 19th century (roughly 1840 through 1900) inspired by the 11th and 12th century Romanesque style of architecture. Popular features of these revival buildings are round arches, semi-circular arches on windows, and belt courses. Unlike the classical Romanesque style, however, Romanesque Revival buildings tended to feature more simplified arches and windows than their historic counterparts. The style was quite popular for courthouses and university campuses in the early 20th century, perhaps the most well-known of these being the University of California, Los Angeles.
