Gingerbread is an architectural style that consists of elaborately detailed embellishment known as gingerbread trim.[1] It is more specifically used to describe the detailed decorative work of American designers in the late 1860s and 1870s,[2] which was associated mostly to the Carpenter Gothic style.[3] It was loosely based on the Picturesque period of English architecture in the 1830s.[2]
