Written by Kathleen Mahoney and photographed by Michael Dunne, this richly illustrated volume celebrates the inventive and exuberant design heritage of the Gothic Revival.
Book Overview
In this comprehensive survey, Kathleen Mahoney examines the Gothic Revival across Great Britain and the United States, from mock ruins and garden follies to manor houses, castles, cottages, Hudson River villas, and Palm Beach mansions. The book explores roughly thirty structures inside and out, pairing full-color photographs with historic engravings.
The narrative weaves social history with architecture and design, showing how tastemakers, architects, and designers captured the medieval past in a romantic spirit. The result is a vivid record of an eight-hundred-year-old style that remains vibrant today.

Why This Book Matters
The Gothic Revival began in the early eighteenth century as a release from the aesthetic restraints of classicism. This book documents its evolution through manor houses and castles, as well as its renewed influence on contemporary interiors.
After decades of neglect, the Gothic style has returned to favor, inspiring designers, decorators, architects, and collectors. Gothic Style preserves the legacy of that imaginative world and shows why it still appeals to readers today.
