There wasn't a "Gothic" period in America since it didn't exist in the middle ages when it first took place. The Gothic movement in America brought many buildings and art in the early 1920's. These were copied from earlier Gothic art in Europe.

Gothic design came to America as "Gothic Revival" also known as collegiate revival.Collegiate Gothic Revival is a subgenre of Gothic Revival that began in 1894. The most famous building to mark the beginning of this revival is Pembroke Hall on the campus of Bryn Mawr College. Gothic design and art was injected into university and college architectural design during the 20th century and remained popular for many American and European university designs.
