Neoclassical revival covered entrance. 177 George Street, Providence, Rhode Island. The combination of this curved portico, carved panel over the double-doors, delicate columns, and surrounding pilasters make this a truly outstanding example of the classical revival at its most beautiful. Unlike much classical revival architecture in stone, which often tends toward the ponderous, wooden buildings like this one have a feeling of lightness and elegance. Photograph and text George P. Landow. [You may use this image without prior permission for any scholarly or educational purpose as long as you (1) credit the photographer and (2) link your document to this URL.]
