Greek Revival houses in Athens
Greek Revival buildings carry low pitched gables, heavy cornices and columned porticoes modelled on Greek temples. The style was common across the United States from the 1820s through the 1850s.
10 stops, 2.1 miles end to end. One stop is a historic district rather than a single building.
Distances are straight lines between the coordinates in the National Park Service Register data, so the walk on the street will be longer. Nobody has walked or checked this as a route, and a listing does not mean a place is open to visitors. Stops last changed Oct 16, 2026.
Map
Coordinates come from the National Park Service National Register spatial data, or from Wikidata where the spatial data has no point. The solid line joins the stops in walking order and is not a street route. Listings with a restricted address in the Register are never mapped and never become stops.
