Old Marine Hospital, DeSoto Park, Memphis, Tennessee. Raised building, built around 1860. Photographer: Alan Karchmer. © Alan Karchmer.

A visually involved style, the Victorian Italianate uses openings, often grouped vertically or horizontally, stringcourses, and heavily bracketed multiple cornices to implement animated ornamentation. Buildings are most often simply massed in a single block form.
