	The Carpenter Gothic, 1840-1870 - Oldhouseweb.com
		In England, the style reflected a resurgence in interest on the Gothic stone structures of the Middle Ages, and Gothic Revival homes and churches were often constructed of brick and stone.
		Identifying features of the Carpenter Gothic style include steeply pitched roofs and gables, gingerbread ornamentation, fancy scroll work, barge boards, carved porch railings, and strong vertical design elements, such as board and batten siding. Window trim typically replicated the masonry trim of English Gothic cathedrals on these otherwise simple country cottages.
		While Gothic Revival structures, especially churches and commercial buildings, are found in cities, builders of the day favored pastoral settings with lush lawns for their Carpenter Gothic homes.
