neoclassical architecture
Greco-Roman revival style
Neoclassical architecture is a style that revived the forms of ancient Greece and Rome—columns, pediments, symmetry, and classical proportions.
It dominated Western building from the mid-18th through 19th centuries, expressing Enlightenment ideals of order and reason.
Government buildings, banks, and museums often adopt the style to convey authority and permanence: The Supreme Court building is neoclassical architecture at its most imposing.
