3 I can list and describe the visual influences of classical architecture on early America. I can identify the three types of Greek columns. I can identify and create examples of Greek Revival architecture. I can define and identify post and lintels. I can describe how and why Neoclassical became popular.

4 In the mid-19th century, many prosperous Americans believed that ancient Greece represented the spirit of democracy. Also, many Americans sympathized with Greece's own struggles for independence in the 1820s.

5 Greek Revival architecture began with public buildings in Philadelphia. Many European-trained architects designed in the popular Grecian style, and the fashion spread via carpenter's guides and pattern books. Colonnaded Greek Revival mansions - sometimes called Southern Colonial houses - sprang up throughout the American south. With its classic clapboard exterior and bold, simple lines, Greek Revival architecture became the most predominant housing style in the United States.

6 During the second half of the 19th century, Gothic Revival and Italianate styles captured the American imagination. Grecian ideas faded from popularity. However, front-gable design - a trademark of the Greek Revival style - continued to influence the shape of American houses well into the 20th century.
