Which building era spans from the 1700s to World War I?

Understanding the time-frame definitions for building eras helps connect construction styles and fire behavior to historical periods. The Founder's era is described as spanning from the 1700s into the early 20th century, roughly up to World War I. That makes it the era that covers both the 1700s and the WWI era in a single continuous period. The Industrial Era is more tied to extensive industrialization work in the later 1800s into WWI, but it doesn’t begin in the 1700s. The Legacy Era and Lightweight Era refer to later design and construction trends that occur after World War I or in broader postwar periods, so they don’t fit the entire span requested.
