 594 COMPARATIVE ARCHITECTURE. the Gothic revival, which it was attempted to extend to buildings for every purpose ; until the movement met with a severe check in the decision, acquiesced in by Sir Gilbert Scott, to erect the Home and Foreign Offices (1860-1870) in the Classic, or, as it was called, the modern style. The design thus dictated to Scott was not likely to be a masterpiece, and it is in fact but a poor compromise between modern French and the traditional Italian ideas of the Renaissance. After this crisis a new movement, due to Norman Shaw, Nesfield, and Philip Webb, then arose in favour of the Queen Anne style, or Free Classic, for domestic buildings, while churches and kindred buildings continued to be erected in a developed style of Gothic architecture. The work of Shaw, Nesfield, and Webb influenced the design of smaller buildings in suburbs and country. CLASSIC SCHOOL E.M.
