Revivalism (architecture)
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"The response of 19th-century architecture to industrialization, in stark contrast to the other arts, was to veer towards historicism. Although the railway stations built during this period are often considered the truest reflections of its spirit – they are sometimes called "the cathedrals of the age" – the main movements in architecture during the Industrial Age were revivals of styles from the distant past, such as the Gothic Revival."--Sholem Stein |

Revivalism in architecture is the use of visual styles that consciously echo the style of a previous architectural era.
Modern-day revival styles can be summarized within New Classical Architecture, and sometimes under the umbrella term traditional architecture.
