In the United States, the National Register of Historic Places classifies its listings by various types of architecture. Listed properties often are given one or more of 40 standard architectural style classifications that appear in the National Register Information System (NRIS) database. Other properties are given a custom architectural description with "vernacular" or other qualifiers, and others have no style classification. Many National Register-listed properties do not fit into the several categories listed here, or they fit into more specialized subcategories.[1]
Exotic Revival architecture is another style that may reflect a mix of Moorish Revival architecture, Egyptian Revival architecture, and other influences. Just a few of many National Register-listed places identified with this style are El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium, Odd Fellows Rest Cemetery, Fort Smith Masonic Temple, and Algeria Shrine Temple.[1]
Greek Revival architecture is a general term. It emerged following the War of 1812 and while a revolutionary war in Greece attracted America's interest. It was perhaps the first architectural fashion movement in the United States which was meant to explicitly reject previous English traditions such as Adamesque style. Greek Revival architecture was popularized by Minard Lafever's pattern books: The Young Builders' General Instructor in 1829, the Modern Builders' Guide in 1833, The Beauties of Modern Architecture in 1835, and The Architectural Instructor in 1850.
Greek Revival includes high-style and more vernacular versions such as the 1839 Simsbury Townhouse built by an unknown craftsman.[2]
It is a grouping of architectural styles that has been applied as a term by the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in hundreds of listings. There are many buildings designed in an amalgam of revival styles that defy simpler classification (e.g. simply as Egyptian Revival architecture) because they are a mix of styles.
Mission/Spanish Revival is an amalgam of two distinct styles popular in different eras, the first - Mission Revival architecture and the second - Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. The combined term, as well as the individual terms, is often used in classification of buildings listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[1]
"American Movements" is a phrase used also in visual arts of the United States to refer to U.S.-centered or -originated movements such as Pop Art, and such as in the art of Edward Hopper and Norman Rockwell. (Note: Hopper and Rockwell themselves portrayed various architectural styles in their paintings of small-town and urban America.)
Bungalow/Craftsman is a term commonly appearing in National Register listings, which reflects American Craftsman styling and Bungalow building type. Craftsman style, depending on one's definition, may apply only to decorative arts of furniture and other objects while not to building architecture. Nonetheless, many thousands of craftsman-styled California Bungalow houses nation-wide have been built. When listed on the National Register, they usually receive the "Bungalow/Craftsman" classification.
There are many hundreds of National Register-listed buildings of this type.[1]
It may be a subtype of Commercial style, i.e. it may be a predecessor of the full Chicago school style architecture.
Plains Commercial is another variant of Commercial style. See also Commercial Style.
"Octagon Mode" architecture refers to Octagon houses built in a particular style. The term is used in at least 49 NRHP listings.
"Postmedieval English" architecture is a style term used for a number of NRHP listings, including William Ward Jr. House in Middlefield, Connecticut.
