Greek Revival House Plan Details

Greek Revival house plans became extremely popular among prosperous Americans between 1830 and 1860 partly as a backlash against British styles and also because they celebrated the ancient Greek ideal of democracy. Greek Revival home designs began in Philadelphia and quickly spread throughout the Atlantic states, Midwest, and deep south in the form of the iconic antebellum "Gone With The Wind" plantation house.
