  RAMSHACKLE, adj.  Pertaining to a certain order of architecture,
  otherwise known as the Normal American.  Most of the public buildings
  of the United States are of the Ramshackle order, though some of our
  earlier architects preferred the Ironic.  Recent additions to the
  White House in Washington are Theo-Doric, the ecclesiastic order of
  the Dorians.  They are exceedingly fine and cost one hundred dollars a
  brick.
