The stables and cow-sheds of the farm are always of logs,
while the granaries and hay-lofts are generally constructed in the
form of a framework of beams with a boarding of battens.
The Norwegian architecture of the present day is
principally of a cosmopolitan nature. The taste for solid materials has
lately gained ground in the larger towns, and especially in the
central districts of Kristiania, the beautiful Norwegian stones such
as granite, labradorite, soapstone and marble being largely
employed, and sometimes in good forms.
In wooden architecture, a national style has developed from
the study of our old buildings. It is principally seen in the villas
in the suburbs of the towns, and in several of our country hotels
and sanatoriums.
