Egyptian Revival style Egyptian Revival style (1830–1850)A revival style distinguished by distinctive columns and capitals and a smooth monolithic exterior finish. Characteristic battered walls are edged with roll moldings, tall straight-headed windows with splayed jambs, and a deep cavetto or gorge-and-roll cornice. Roofs are flat, and the smooth wall surface lends a monumental appearance reminiscent of pylons or gateways to Egyptian temples.     |
