O popular have the colonial SI styles of architecture been In I this country, that most people I hnt I m rlnn thit ha style la of American origin. The fact is, the style Is of English oi Wl. A little band of prominent architects, headed by Sir Christopher Wren, thinking; that England had tired of her Gothic archi tecture, tried to make a distinct departure from the Gothic styles and using the classic architecture especially as found throughout modern Italy as a basis, evoled what Is known as the Georgian style. This was during the formative period of American colonisation. The style u quite popular In England for a time, and it la' therefore quite natural that the younger architects who came across the Atlantic to make their fortunes In the new world, should carry with them the im pressions of this style, with the result that all of the early architecture of this coun try was in the Georgian style. Its associa tion with our early history, however, has given to It the name of colonial archi tecture. Since lack of money and lack of skilled labor made it necessary to build practi cally all of the buildings erected In the colonial days of wood, the style had to be modified to meet the conditions which a wooden structure imposed. This fact has given colonial architecture the nickname of "The Carpenter' Renaissance," In other words, the classic orders aa worked up and applied by carpenters. Tels name is not entirely misapplied, for at that time the workman elevated his calling and became an artist and designer as well as laborer. For reasons of convenience and greater skill along both lines, the designer of a building and Its builder are two different men. the same as the doctor and the drug gist who fills his prescriptions are no longer ths same Individual except in very small villages. Since the colonial style Is a renaissance of classical architecture, all colonial build ings are necessarily rectangular in shape. The most prominent type la a large home with the broad side of the house' to the front, embe'.llshed with a two-story portico. This style Is particularly popular In the southern states and the reason given by one prominent architect for this is the fact that a southerner Is always anxious to ex tend his hospitality, and favots the idea (Continued on Page Three.) nxmrnima tjlat will bats mojtet R.
