As America
was developing its own style they looked to Greek Architecture for inspiration.
This new and uncertain nation want to create structure that would create an
image of strength and power, just as Greece had been. Public building
and some personal residences reflected this National style. Creating a national
style is creating a story, through architecture, that the country wants to be
retold. Creating a general feel that carries over from one building and space
to the next. I think today’s national style is much less consistent than it was
during the Greek revival. Although many of our public buildings, especially
government buildings, still reflect this Grecian style. But overall all there
is more variety seen in our nation’s public buildings. Our national style is
many different styles.
