Title
Palladian Style in Canadian Architecture
Abstract
The Palladian architectural style, which flourished in England from 1710 to 1750, is based on rules established by Palladio, the great architect of the Italian Renaissance. The outstanding elements of this architectural style are projecting frontis-pieces, lateral wings, triangular pediments, Venetian windows, and doors framed by pilasters and surrounded by semi-circular tansoms or small pediments. Examples of this style are Holy Trinity Anglican Church and St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Quebec City; St. James Anglican Church in Trois-Rivières; St. Stephen's Anglican Church in Chambly; and the now-demolished St. Gabriel's Presbyterian Church, Montreal.
