The Italianate style was a distinct 19th-century phase in the history of Classical architecture. Like Palladianism and Neoclassicism, the Italianate style combined its inspiration from the models and architectural vocabulary of 16th-century Italian Renaissance architecture with picturesque aesthetics. The resulting style of architecture was essentially of its own time.
From the late 1840s to 1890, it achieved huge popularity in the United States,[5] where it was promoted by the architect Alexander Jackson Davis.
