Richardsonian Romanesque

The sense of massiveness of the Richardsonian Romanesque is achieved through the use of rough cut stone, squat proportions, and often, round arches. The number of residences of this style in Oshkosh is limited. The Arthur Jones house at 1057 Algoma Boulevard is the most complete example. It is constructed of rock faced limestone. The front entrance is marked by a round arch.

The appropriate massing and manipulation of form is most evident in the Richardsonian Romanesque churches in Oshkosh such as Trinity Episcopal Church at 203 Algoma Boulevard and Algoma Boulevard United Methodist Church at 1174 Algoma Boulevard, both of which are on the National Register.
