Greek Revival Style Homes: Architectural Charm of the Mid-1800s

Greek Revival Style homes were common in the mid-1800s, particularly between 1825-1860. These two-story homes were crafted from wood, brick, and stone, featuring a balanced design with columns and a mix of horizontal and vertical lines on floors and ceilings. With a low-pitched roof and abundant windows, these homes are reminiscent of classical Greek architecture. This architectural style can be found across the US, with many notable examples in Washington, D.C., including Arlington Cemetery. For a deep dive into the history and features of these homes, explore our guide to Greek Revival houses and architecture.
