Bath, ME.  Carpenter Gothic.


Elsah, IL.  Carpenter Gothic.


Bellefonte, PA.  Georgian massing with Gothic dormer.
What style does the house on the left represent?


Bellefonte, PA.  Brick Gothic Church.  Notice the suggestion of "flying buttresses" on the side.  In a small town like this one, it is more likely to find greatly simplified versions of the Gothic Revival style, but still impressive nonetheless!


Madison, IN.  Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, c.1874.


Bellefonte, PA.  Pennsylvania Georgian with a Gothic dormer.  Notice the simplified Gothic pointed-arched window on the dormer.


Globe, AZ.  Gothic-revival church with "battlements" on the tower -- used more for aesthetics on Gothic Revival buildings than for protection and defense.
