This broad topic is best introduced in pages created by our Historic Preservation staff, especially their Wisconsin History Explorer pages. Here in the online Dictionary, many specific technical terms are individually explained, including more than 20 well-known styles of architecture whose definitions contain links to pictures or more detailed information. Real-world examples of each building style can be located through an Advanced Search in our online Architecture and History Inventory. Hundreds of pictures of houses, churches, schools, stores, commercial buildings, and architectural details can also be found in Wisconsin Historical Images.
