Gothic Revival Cottage - Galt Ontario

A beautiful gothic revival cottage that seems to be located in Tavistock based on the drainage issues of the front lawn! This example is in the old town of Galt, now part of Cambridge Ontario.

Gothic Revival Cottage - near Plattsville Ontario

Now this is completely cool! Driving home from Cambridge along Regional 97 I spotted this pretty little Gothic revival cottage. It had started to snow, and I wasn't interested in stopping for a picture, but decided to anyway. Then later doing a bit of research I found a link to The Canada Farmer 1864, page 21 which, if you open, illustrates the same home as you see in the photograph!

Well, if it isn't a late 19th century example of subdivision or 'tract' homes! Absolutely gorgeous examples of gothic revival architecture (steep pitches, gothic vergeboards), but with Romanesque window arches.

Simple Victorian - Kitchener Ontario

Like many of the Victorian era, this house cannot readily be described as conforming to a specific style as elements of both Queen Anne and gothic revival are seen here: A simple and charming small two storey home.

'Gothic Revival' and addition - Kitchener Ontario

On the right is the late 1800's simple gothic revival vernacular, a common Victorian house in the area. On the left is the magnificent and recent gothic revival addition, executed in a manner which is poorly suited to the original home. Sorry, but I have to give this two thumbs down.

Caribbean 'Queen Anne' Style - Castries St. Lucia

Originally a Doctor's home on the hillside above Castries, now a Batik workshop for the past thirty years. Generally in the Queen Anne style, with some elements of other styles. Note the castellated brickwork, as well as the Palladian arches on the first floor windows, and the Neo-Gothic arches on the windows of the second storey. Simply wonderful!

Vansittart Avenue 'Gothic Revival' - Woodstock Ontario

A stunning Gothic Revival home on one of my favourite Ontario streets. (added Jan 25 2010) Oops! This one had me fooled, I think rather it would be considered Romanesque Revival. I am obviously learning as I go!

'Bricklayers Gothic' - Tavistock Ontario

You could be the new owner of this simple yellow brick Gothic Revival cottage on the main street in Tavistock!

'Queen Anne' on Vansittart Avenue - Woodstock Ontario

And here is another Queen Anne, in all her regal splendour! Not often seen are the half hipped gable ends with dormers, and the gothic revival tower roof blends perfectly!
