The Greek Revival Home

Greek Revival was an architectural movement of the late 18th century, predominantly taken up in Northern Europe and the United States. This powerful vernacular of architecture revived a style of ancient Greek architecture, specifically the Greek temple, with varying degrees of thoroughness and consistency.

Notable buildings that embody this style include:

  • The British Museum in London (1759)

  • The United States Capitol Building (1800)

  • The Parliament Building in Austria (1883)

  • The State House in Nairobi (1907)

  • The Lincoln Memorial (1922)

While informed by 200 years of Greek Revival Architecture this home is built in a Transitional style. Fusing the best of both worlds, the transitional style takes the Greek Revival's classic balance and symmetry merging it with modern sleek lines, open concepts, and a minimalist aesthetic.
