Well-attended exhibitions in Paris in 1855 and 1867 helped to spread Second Empire style to England and then the United States

Popularized in the US by architect Richard Morris Hunt, the first American to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in France.

In 1925 the Exposition des Arts Decoratifs in Paris further promoted the popularity of Art Deco style architecture

The popularity of this style was advanced by the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893

Known as the French Eclectic style, French Provincial or French Chateau, the style was fashionable in the 1920s and 1930s.

The French Norman style is modeled after the rural vernacular architecture of the French countryside. 

The style itself was imported directly from France

Patterned after the designs of monumental French chateaus of the 16th century
