Architectural styles in St. Paul

Greek Revival

There are Greek Revival style homes in the oldest parts of St. Paul which are the neighborhoods closest to downtown. Most were built in the mid 1800’s. I live in a Greek revival house but it isn’t nearly as fancy as the house in the photo. These homes are pre-victorian, and were built during a time when everything had to be handmade.

There are many resources on the internet for learning about home styles. One resource is this guide from Realtor magazine. Once the basic style has been identified I like to do a Google search to learn more.
