A lovely example of the Greek Revival style with porches on both floors located in the Garden District of New Orleans.
Greek Revival is often called America’s first national style, with examples in all areas of the country settled by Europeans before the Civil War.
The Garden District is a treasure trove of beautiful homes in styles that were popular from the 1840s through the 1960s.
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.
More than 30 full color photos are used to illustrate the Greek Revival style in Chapter 2 of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
The award-winning and bestselling 720-page hardcover book is available in bookstores nationwide and from online retailers.
