Gothic Revival buildings

Gothic Revival buildings in the Grand Theft Auto series. The beginning of the 19th century was marked by the return of medieval Gothic architecture under the denomination of Gothic Revival, whose usage was extended beyond churches and cathedrals to certain governmental buildings. Gothic Revival architecture, like its medieval ancestor, employs spearhead-shaped arches, rosettes, mullioned windows decorated with tracery (i.e., interlaced stone ornaments), stained glass, naturalistic ornamentation, buttresses, pinnacles, and steep gable roofs.
