 New York Architecture Images- Horace Trumbauer
Yet, because he worked exclusively in period styles, reviving the architecture of distant times and places, Trumbauer's celebrity did not persist into the mid twentieth century, when critics enamored with European Modernism valued architecture that renounced all historical precedents.
Denigrated by modernists for his preference for revival styles, Trumbauer, one of the most accomplished architects of the Gilded Age, was neither appreciated nor understood until the end of the twentieth century, when architects and historians looked back and explored their rich heritage.
As he matured as an architect and designed larger and larger homes, Trumbauer continued to develop a noble, classical architecture that was predicated on his discerning sense of form and proportion.

 Robert Adam - Movement in Architecture

however, must be set Kenwood House, London, where the south front, of 1773, has flat pilasters decorated with anthemion ornament (based on the flower of the honeysuckle), and string courses with continuous spiral scrolls, the whole being executed in stucco, a hard plaster used on the outsides of buildings.
The ornament on this facade does have strong parallels with Adam’s interior style, but the ornament is used to articulate the wall-surface, and it can be seen as an attempt to use different means of creating movement within another of the designs of which Adam seems to have been particularly proud.
