The Greek Revival style is an adaptation of the classic Greek temple front
employing details of either the Doric, Ionic, or Corinthian orders. Columns,
pilasters, a pedimented roof or gabled dentils, and transom, are common
features. Most Greek Revival houses are painted white to look like white
marble. These houses also have large closed or open pediments. An
example of this style would be Boston’s Quincy Market, designed by Alexander
Parris.
