What is the Eastlake architecture style?

Eastlake architecture is a style of Victorian architecture that was popular in the late 19th century. It was named after English designer Charles Eastlake, who advocated for a more honest and functional approach to design. Eastlake architecture is characterized by its use of decorative elements such as spindles, brackets, and boldly patterned textiles. It often incorporates asymmetrical facades, towers, and ornamental stonework. This style was popular in the United States and Europe, and many examples can still be seen in historic neighborhoods today.
