	The success of these revival movements gradually revealed their limitations. Architects increasingly encountered commissions that demanded more than a single style could offer. Governments wanted buildings associated with authority and national identity. Aristocrats wanted residences suggesting lineage and prestige. Cultural institutions sought architecture appearing both historic and modern. A single historical style failed to satisfy all these ambitions at once.

+ECLECTIC ARCHITECTURE. An architectural approach that combining elements from many historical styles within a single building or architectural composition, Eclectic architecture began in Europe and spread to the United States from 1830 to 1930.  Across Europe and North America, architects had been studying and revived earlier traditions with great enthusiasm. Neo-Gothic Architecture looked to the Middle Ages. Neo-Renaissance Architecture revived the forms of Renaissance palaces. Romanesque Revival Architecture returned to the architectural language of the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
