! ORIGINS OF THE STYLEFrench Eclectic architecture is the most varied style in
history. Detailing comes in a multitude of flavors, as
does form. Symmetrical form, asymmetrical form,
quoins, towers with conical roofs this archetype
contains a wide scope of features. The one constant
seen in the French Eclectic style is the steep roofline.
A variety of materials are often seen, including stone,
stucco, brick and even half-timbering. The French
Eclectic home can be easily mistaken for English
Tudor, but what sets the two styles apart is the fact
that English Tudor will have front-facing gables, where
French Eclectic will not.
In the United States, we were exposed to the French
Eclectic style due to soldiers returning home from
World War I. After their exposure to the homes built
throughout the French countryside, many soldiers
brought back ideas for their own homes. Our French
Eclectic trend in the United States began in the 1920s
carried through the 1930s, and was resurrected in the
1960s.
