That's what I was thinking. How about the 1920s "high school style"? I'm not really sure what the name of this one is either.

what are some good books on 20th and 21st century architecture?

I also need to know the name of the style that was commonly used for office buildings and schools in the 1970s. A few typical features of these buildings are small horizontal windows that almost look like they should belong to a military fortress, and trapezoidal forms being used regularly.

I believe it was called the "I Hate Children" style...

Italianate/Palazzo style

Richardson Romanesque (literally his Marshall Field Building)

Rundbogenstil (Mossehaus)

Collegiate Gothic elements, but also slightly reminiscent of Dutch Baroque

Straight-up brutalist. Linear horizontal windows are known as ribbon windows popularized by Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye.

Chicago school would usually carry the verticality straight to the top floor, and all ornaments not contiguous with structural elements would be excised. Also that cornice and slightly pitched roof is far too antiquated for a Chicago building.

Neat.

It is the rococo style. Duh.

Thanks for the information, Anon.
About that Brutalist school I posted: I actually initially thought that that's what style it was, but then assumed that it had to be something "less specific" the moment I discovered that Google Images really only brings up pictures of "true" Brutalist buildings in a sense, as in those colossal, abstract, unpainted-concrete abominations that you'll never see outside of a big city. I've also never gotten anything but those kinds of buildings out of any other sources that I've come across after looking up Brutalist architecture, either. I was pretty confused for a while, so thanks for clearing things up. I've always had an immense liking towards ribbon windows and other aspects of public buildings built from the '50s to the '70s, by the way. If you grew up in an area with a sizable amount MCM and Brutalist architecture, you probably know about the kinds of unique vibes that they generate.

No windows, prison-like, hmm must be easy being an architect.
