Neo-Classical Style
Architecture in the Lily of the
Valley Historic District (1900-1940)
U.S. Post Office
South Mill Avenue
Neoclassical became a dominant
style for domestic buildings nationwide between 1900-1940s. It was directly
inspired by the Beaux-Arts style and the Columbian Exposition: classical
symmetry, full-height porch with columns and temple front; classical ornament.
Basically, this is the revival of the Greek Revival style.
