a sign of these styles
Beaux-Arts c. 1880–1930 Gilded Age grandeur: paired giant columns, rough-cut stone bases, rooftop sculpture, and monumental stairs.

Mannerism c. 1520–1600 Classical rules bent on purpose: oversized keystones, broken pediments, and columns sunk into walls.

Richardsonian Romanesque c. 1870–1900 Muscular rough-cut stone, huge low round arches on stubby columns, and round corner towers.
Romanesque Revival c. 1840–1900 Round arches revived in heavy rough-cut stone: squat columns, cave-like entrances, and deep-set windows.
