What was the architectural art style that can be found at the Beardsley Historic District and is taught at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris?
Beaux-Arts architecture Beaux-Arts architecture ( ; ] ) expresses the academic neoclassical architectural style taught at the "École des Beaux-Arts" in Paris. The "style" "Beaux Arts" is the cumulative product of two-and-a-half centuries of instruction under the authority, first, of the "Académie royale d'architecture" (1671–1793), then, following the French Revolution of the late 18th century, of the Architecture section of the "Académie des Beaux-Arts" (1795– ). The organization under the "Ancien Régime" of the competition for the "Grand Prix de Rome" in architecture, offering a chance to study in Rome, imprinted its codes and aesthetic on the course of instruction, which culminated during the Second Empire (1852–1870) and the Third Republic that followed. The style of instruction that produced Beaux-Arts architecture continued without major interruption until 1968.
