architectural style
A classification characterizing buildings that share many common attributes, including similarity in general appearance, in the arrangement of major design elements in ornamentation, in the use of materials, and in form, scale, and structure. Such styles are often related to a particular period of time, geographical region, country of origin, or religious tradition, or to the architecture of an earlier period. Often, a term that includes the word style (such as Santa Fe style) is an architectural mode rather than an architectural style.

Newport Villas: The Revival Styles, 1885-1935 Michael C.
Gothic and Gothic Revival styles pose the alternative to Italianate; they were 19th century styles as well, but represented a more medieval style with pointed arches and frosted class that were seeming contrary to the classical designs prevalent at the time.
