Neo-Romanesque New Home Designs

Neo-Romanesque home designs are...

...sometimes classified as Romanesque Revival. It's style was employed mostly in the late 19th century and was inspired by the 11th and 12th century Romanesque style of architecture. Popular features of these buildings are round arches, semi-circular arches on windows, and belt courses.

Unlike the classical Romanesque style, Neo-Romanesque buildings tend to feature more simplified arches and windows than their counterparts. The style was quite popular for courthouses and university campuses in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, perhaps the best-known of these being the University of California, Los Angeles.

The style was widely used for churches and for synagogues, such as the Congregation Emanu-El of New York on Fifth Avenue built in 1929.
