Romanesque Revival 1870 - 1900                                                                 Color System B Many of Detroit's Romanesque dwellings can be found in the East Ferry and Brush Park Historic Districts. The rock-faced masonry or brick walls are patterned with variously colored and textured stone or brick window trim, arches and belt courses. Multiple round-arched openings are sometimes supported by polished stone columns. Square or round-arched windows have stone mullions and transoms. Roofs combine a steep hip with a cross gable, and are often pierced with small dormers and short chimneys. The picturesque quality of the plan, roof, and tower are very much like the Queen Anne Style. With the influence of the architect H.H. Richardson, however, the style took on a heavier, more horizontal appear- ance and the monochrome rock-faced masonry walls were rougher and pierced by deep windows and heavy arched entries.                                                                    DETROIT HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION
