Typical of Bulfinch's architecture, the spring-points and keystones of the arches, as well as the string course and window lintels and sills, were of white marble in crisp contrast to the red brick walls.
The discovery that architecture had the power to evoke distant times or places-times of immense appeal because of their mystery or self-assuredness-led to a new emotional way of making and thinking about buildings which was abetted by unparalleled technological prowess for manufacturing new building materials (terra cotta, cast iron, and plate glass, for example).
Victorian architecture came to be regarded as excessively fussy and naive, drowned in a sea of misguided invention, perversion of materials, and cloying picturesqueness.

For example, the highly racialized, stratified society of Cuba provides an opportunity to discuss the war from discrete social positions: the meaning of the war for “white” middle and upper class insurgents and their pro-Spanish opponents as opposed to the meanings of the war for Cuba’s “free colored” and slave populations.
The intent therefore is to use the narratives of the War of 1898 to discuss the multiplicity of issues involved in the telling of a historical event and its consequences.
