The designs that emerged from these places spread throughout the Gulf Coast region and are among the most beloved and respected in the history of American architecture. Like America itself, the architecture was a melding of several different cultures, traditions, and attitudes. Most importantly, the architecture took root in the unique characteristics of the Gulf Coast.
