WORD
Carpenter Gothic, also known as Carpenter's Gothic or Rural Gothic, refers to a North American architectural style that incorporates Gothic Revival elements into wooden structures constructed by house-carpenters. This style emerged from the availability of abundant timber in North America, allowing for picturesque interpretations of Gothic architecture. Carpenter Gothic creatively adapts Gothic features typically seen in stone structures but without the limitations of genuine Gothic buildings. Instead, it prioritizes charm and quaintness over strict adherence to established models. Alexander Jackson Davis' "Rural Residences" publication and detailed plans by Andrew Jackson Downing greatly influenced the development of this architectural genre.
