"As a religious property that derives its primary significance from architectural distinction, Temple Emanuel also meets criterion consideration A.Popular in Colorado between 1880 and 1910, Queen Anne is perhaps the most varied and richly decorative style of the Victorian period consisting of a variety of forms, textures, materials, and colors that are manipulated into an exuberant visual display. Several methods are used to avoid a smooth-walled appearance; one is to employ wall materials of different textures. Temple Emanuel incorporates rock-faced tan sandstone, red brick, and a variety of patterned wood shingles painted white. Polygonal towers and a pedimented entry add to the variety of forms used in the building and also help to break up the wall surface. The use of classical detailing became a common element of the Queen Anne style after 1890 and the pedimented entry and dentil-like cornice on Temple Emanuel attest to this trend. The building's symmetry is also a characteristic of classicism.An unusual feature of the temple is the Syrian arch that marks the entrance. The Syrian arch incorporated directly into the wall surface, the polychromed walls, and the decorative arch surround are elements of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. H. H. Richardson borrowed from many sources and stressed unusual sculpted shapes that gave his buildings great individuality. His followers were usually less inventive as most merely added Romanesque detailing to the then dominant Queen Anne style. Jacob Gile appears to have followed in this vein with his design of Temple Emanuel. However, his incorporation of classical and Richardsonian Romanesque elements created an unusual expression of the Queen Anne style."[1]FloridaArmy (talk) 18:20, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
