The interest was largely a result of America's fledgling national identity as a world-power democracy in the tradition of Greece. Meanwhile, the Neoclassical movement continued to have a less political influence art and architecture - many American commercial and public buildings from the early 19th century are said to originate in the broader neoclassical tradition, while homes built at this time were commonly attributed to the more focussed Greek Revival school. The Greek Revival is often seen as the last phase of the Neoclassical movement. The result was a re-energized interest in Greek art and architecture, fueled in part by the many new building and design examples unearthed at the time in Greece. Greek Revival architecture quickly became popular in America, and by the early 19th century was being applied to many public institutions across the nation. Neoclassical and Greek Revival architecture are two of America's most recognized building forms. Besides its unique political and cultural heritage, Greek Revival architecture is also distinct for its use of front gables, and occasionally employing hipped roofs. High-profile examples of Greek Revival architecture from this period include Philadelphia's Second Bank of the United States, and the Jefferson Memorial and United States Capitol in Washington, DC. In its purest form, the movement was one that simply revisited and paid tribute to the forms of Classical Greece, while applying itself to modern architecture.
