Its most unusual feature is the octagonal cupola with diamond-shaped panels in the sides (visible in Plate 73) and a projecting cornice. The cornice of the house itself is rich with moldings, being capped front and back by Grecian blocking courses. Below this is a wide entablature, boldly divided horizontally and with circular windows in the frieze band. The strong plasticity of this crowning member is matched by clearly defined pilasters and by pronounced window lintels, jambs, and sills. Inte...riors of Greek Revival Houses Interiors of Greek Revival homes differed rather strikingly from Plate 74 their Federal predecessors, particularly in the framing of doors and 50 windows and in the entablature-like bands or frieze boards carried The Neo-Classic Mode: Roman and Greek Revivals around the walls. While the Federal jambs and lintels were narrow and usually carved, those of the Grecian style were broad and un- decorated. The inspiration for the latter apparently came from such originals as the doors of the Erechtheum at Athens and of the Temple of Hercules at Cora, the principal characteristic features being the croisettes ("ears" or "keys") at the upper comers.
