The colonists built simply and functionally,
but these early styles have their own
Called Palladian in London, the designs
of Christopher Wren and Inigo Jones
crossed the Atlantic and became Georgian.
Early republican red-brick mansions
were sturdy, handsome, functional, and
built to last.
The rage for the classical left fewer buildings
in New England than in other states,

The Industrial Revolution saw the adaptation
of Federal style to the design of huge
factories, some a mile long.
Eclectic is the word, with a few distinguished
skyscrapers (and a few infamous ones).
