The
Shingle style is an American
architectural style made popular by the rise of the New England school of architecture, which eschewed the highly ornamented patterns of the
Eastlake style in
Queen Anne architecture. In the Shingle style, English influence was combined with the renewed interest in
Colonial American architecture which followed the 1876 celebration of the Centennial. The plain, shingled surfaces of colonial buildings were adopted, and their massing emulated.
