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
