Exterior and Ossuary Chapel of the Iglesia de Santa María, Wamba, Spain, c. 1150 CE (via archinect)
Alexander Jackson Davis (1803-92) and New York State
One of the most successful revivalists of the 19th Century, Davis dabbled in nearly every style available to the Romanticists at his time until the Civil War murdered his practice. Almost all of his works lie along the Atlantic Coast, which makes sense given that most of his work occurred before or during the inception of Manifest Destiny. It is his almost purely volumetric massing that interests me the most, especially in the Tudor Villa and other Gothic-Revival buildings not featured here.
