“Colonial Revival Style” is a reinterpretation of earlier American Colonial homes that focused on simpler, symmetrical, practical designs. Colonial architecture in the U.S. was heavily influenced by British, Dutch, Spanish, and French designs, with more restraint and less luxury and opulence. Colonial-Revival merged simple, symmetrical American Colonial styles with ornate Victorian-era embellishments.
American pride: Colonial Revival was spurred on by the 1876 Centennial Exposition celebrating the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which increased interest in preserving buildings of architectural interest.
New building techniques: Architects and builders were able to take more liberties when building newer Colonial-style homes thanks to technological advances and increased access to building materials. less
