3-4 hours, 6-7 miles, brisk pace between stops, best examples of Greek Revival and Neoclassical architecture in Philadelphia, late lunch afterward if there's interest.
According to a TikTok (so an authoritative source), men think about Ancient Rome several times a day. Judging from our architecture, in Philadelphia we're more obsessed with Ancient Greece. Buildings that look like Greek temples are so popular here that they have two styles named for them. Greek Revival architecture was prominent in Philadelphia from about 1820 to 1860, and later on Neoclassical architecture blossomed from about 1890 to 1950. Neoclassical buildings were designed to harken back to both Ancient Greece and the Greek Revival style, with its positive association with the early years of the American republic. We will check out wonderful examples of both styles. ...
