=Romanesque Victorians =

The Romanesque Revival was said to be the creation of the architect Henry Hobson Richardson but it may have only been popularized by him. The Romanesque Victorian was mostly used in the 1880's when other architects began to pick it up, however it was very expensive to build using solid stone so the style was reserved more for public buildings. The surviving buildings include churches, university buildings, public libraries and more. There are, however a few Romanesque Victorians built by the extremely wealthy that still survive.
