Palladian

The tripartite, Palladian window consists of a round arch window flanked by narrow, rectangular windows on the side and is usually centered on the main façade of the second story. The Palladian window was extremely popular in the Federal period of the late 18th century through the 1830s. The Palladian window reappeared on Colonial Revival structures during the early 20th century. A Federal era Palladian window, seen below, generally has more detail than a Colonial Revival era Palladian window.
