The character of Classical Revival houses is formal and orderly with a composed relationship among all the parts. Spacing of windows, dormers, doors, porches and columns are all based on Classical proportions. Simple forms and delicately formed elements bring both dignity and grandeur to the front facades.
In small Southern towns, the majority of Classical Revival houses were built with white clapboard siding, while red brick or painted stucco siding was typically used in larger cities.
Classical Revival style is associated with both Antebellum and Colonial eras.
