They feature a low-pitched or flat roof, symmetrical rectangular shape, tall appearance (2, 3 or 4 stories), wide eaves with brackets and cornices, square cupola, porches topped with balconies, side bay windows and heavy double doors. Roman or segmented arches are common above windows and doors and the windows are tall, narrow and double-paned. Italianate is also known as Tuscan, Lombard, or simply, bracketed style.
