This beautiful example of a Greek Revival home is located in Irvine Park near downtown St. Paul. I always associate these with the civil war. They were popular around the country from about 1850 to 1875.
A pediment is a low-pitched triangular gable on the front of some buildings in the Greek revival style of architecture. This particular home as the Grecian style columns.
My own home is a Greek revival but built in the 1850’s, and is much simpler with no columns but has the low pitched triangular gable and the symmetrical design, and wide plain trim work. There are three Greek Revival style homes in Irvine Park and several can be found in the oldest parts of St. Paul.
