Greek Revival is often called America’s first National style, with examples built across the settled areas of the country between the 1820s and 1860s. It appears on small cottages and capes, grand columned mansions, southwestern adobe houses, and urban rowhouses.
This example is located in the coastal town of Thomaston, Maine, where many Greek Revival and early Italianate style houses were built by shipbuilders, sea captains, and the merchants who sold the wares they transported.
Greek Revival is one of the 25 styles and types illustrated in Chapter 2 of Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.
Understanding the style of a house is the essential first step in developing a restoration plan that prioritizes the preservation and restoration of character-defining features while making changes necessary for modern life in an old house.
The book is now available in bookstores nationwide and through online retailers.
