The Gothic Revival: During the mid-19th century, the revival of medieval forms of architecture—pointed arches, tracery, towers, and turrets—stood in contrast to the prevalent classicism of the time. The Gothic Revival would go through many phases with slight variations throughout the nineteenth century to today, spurred by cultural, pedagogical, and artistic contexts. Margaret M. Grubiak, Ph.D., assistant professor of Architectural History at Villanova University, explores this prolific period in architectural history. Attendees receive a special $10 admission rate at President Lincoln’s Cottage, his Gothic Revival summer home in Washington, D.C.
