Summary:

"The Greek revival. The early 19th-century craze for the 'pure' Grecian style produced not only London's British Museum and St. Pancras Church, Manchester's City Art Gallery, 'Greek' Thomson's Glasgow churches and Dublin's pro-Cathedral, but some of the strangest private houses ever designed. It also gave to Edinburgh its visual appearance of the 'Athens of the North' and to the USA the official architecture of Washington DC. Born of a Romantic passion for ancient Greece, the revival style was popularized by archaeologists like 'Athenian' Stuart and travellers like Lord Elgin and Lord Byron." -- Publisher.
