The purpose of this brief guide is to increase one&#8217;s familiarty with the main stylistic traditions in Brookline Village.

As one becomes familiar with each style, one will also observe the varied stylistic interpretations and the frequent overlapping of styles. As a result, many buildings defy labels. Rather they often represent transitional periods when one style was blending into another. Or they may exhibit the conscious combination of unrelated stylistic elements, occasionally the product of pure whimsy or eccentricity.<\/p>\n<div class=\"center\">\n<p><\/p>\n<h1>Federal 1780-1830<\/h1>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/federal.jpg\" alt=\"Federal Style\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Greek Revival 1825-1850<\/h1>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/greek.jpg\" alt=\"Greek Revival Style\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Italianate 1845-1860<\/h1>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/italianate.jpg\" alt=\"Italianate Style\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Stick 1855-1875<\/h1>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/stick.jpg\" alt=\"Stick Style\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Second Empire 1860-1880<\/h1>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/secondemp.jpg\" alt=\"Second Empire Style\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Panel Brick 1870-1880<\/h1>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/panelbrick.jpg\" alt=\"Panel Brick Style\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Queen Anne 1875-1895<\/h1>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/queenanne.jpg\" alt=\"Queen Anne Style\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Shingle 1880-1895<\/h1>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/shingle.jpg\" alt=\"Shingle Style\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Georgian Revival 1895-1930<\/h1>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/georgian.jpg\" alt=\"Georgian Revival Style\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One may often admire old buildings but be unable to identify the style or the terms for specific architectural details.
