Gothic houses were inspired by medieval Gothic architecture which became popular in the 1800s.
Pointed arches and pitched roofs are some of the many features of Gothic Revival homes!
These pointy features a reminiscent of medieval cathedrals and churches and you can also find them in windows, doors, and even in interior decorations!
Another purpose of this pointiness was to achieve height and grandiose!
Another key characteristic of Gothic Revival homes is decorative tracery!
Tracery refers to ornate stonework or woodwork on windows or doors!
