The Asheville 4 - Greek Revival
The Asheville 4 - Greek Revival
At its birth, America expressed its democratic ideals through architecture. The democratic associations with Ancient Greece were expressed through the Greek Revival style, first built in the early 1800’s. The Asheville 4 exemplifies this style with full-height corner pilasters supporting an unadorned cornice and pediment, which are repeated on a smaller scale in the dormers. The large Doric columns and flat roof of the porch and the six-panel front door with transom were frequently seen on these classical homes. The heft of the trimwork lent a feeling of strength and permanence that appealed to the citizens of the new Republic.
