Gothic Architecture

The building with its high-pitched roof and tall gables is a classic example of Gothic architecture common during the 1870s in Grand Ledge.

Popularized by Andrew Jackson Downing in the 1850s, Gothic Revival Buildings were meant to be picturesque and often symmetrical.

These homes featured overhanging truncated gables with ginger-bread trim.

The floor plan is typically in a “T” shape common in gothic cottages.
