Re:Isn't there a style of architecture called Palladian? 17th century or thereabouts?
well Palladian windows (two stories high, with roung arched tops) are all the rage in McMansions, and in 'Soprano' style homes.
Saprano style refers to the type of home that are featured in an HBO TV series 'the soprano's'-- the homes are tract homes,(in NJ) with ostentasious details, (like double height entry ways, featuring palladian windows, and over sized chandeliers... basicly what low class tacky people think is ritzy.

High class tacky people don't call it ritzy; they call it de rigueur (or something like that).

Too, too cute. Wish I had seen this earlier. Coffeebean, I'm not on the PM Train here, but, if I had been, I would have taken my hat off at this, your comment.
