Canadian Gothic Revival is an architectural style that emerged in the mid-19th century, characterized by its pointed arches, intricate detailing, and vertical lines. This movement was inspired by the European Gothic style and adapted to suit Canadian materials and climate. Notable examples include churches, public buildings, and universities, which often feature decorative elements like spires and stained glass. The style was part of a broader cultural movement that sought to establish a distinct Canadian identity. Influential architects, such as Thomas Fuller and Chilion Jones, played key roles in popularizing this style, contributing to the construction of iconic structures like the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa.
