Second Empire is an architectural style, most popular in the last half of the nineteenth century and early years of the twentieth century, it was so named for the architectural elements in vogue during the era of the Second French Empire. As the Second Empire style evolved from its 17th century Renaissance foundations, it acquired an eclectic mix of earlier European styles, most notably the Baroque, often combined with mansard roofs and or low, square based domes.
