Greek Revival architecture is a Neoclassical movement of the late 18th and early 19th centuries in Europe. It emerged in the U.S. following the War of 1812 and while a revolutionary war in Greece attracted America's interest. Greek Revival architecture was popularized by Minard Lafever's pattern books: "The Young Builders' General Instructor" in 1829, the "Modern Builders' Guide" in 1833, "The Beauties of Modern Architecture" in 1835, and "The Architectural Instructor" in 1850.
