Also very popular were Byzantine and Romanesque styles. Their dominating characteristic
is the rounded arch. Also used frequently were designs and patterns in various colors
of brickwork.
In London, two excellent examples are the Natural History Museum and the Roman Catholic
Westminster Cathedral.

Probably the most famous piece of Pittsburgh architecture is the County Courthouse,
designed by H. H. Richardson, who gave his name to the style "Richardson Romanesque."
Like Westminster Cathedral, St. Stanislaus' Church in the Strip District is designed with
ornamental brick patterns.
