It was inspired by the designs of the palazzi of northern Italy and popularized by American architects McKim, Mead, and White. Utilized on public buildings and commercial buildings, the vocabulary of the style also influenced the appearance of ornate homes. Characteristic features associated with the residential usage of the style generally include masonry or stucco exteriors; hipped tile roofs; pilasters, columns, quoins, and other classical details; and a balanced, often symmetrical appearance. Lower stories are generally emphasized through their proportions and fenestration. Arches are incorporated into the majority of the designs, often referring to Palladian precedents.
