The typical example of turn-of-the-century Neo-Classical Revival Style is characterized by symmetry, a full-height portico entry, and cornices and pediments, with such classical details as egg and dart molding, dentils, modillions or fret. Since the Golden Age of Greece in the Fifth Century B.C., classical forms have been revived and reinterpreted in cycles, most remarkably in the Greek Revival, which predominated in the first half of the nineteenth century. An early example of the New-Classical Revival is the Taliaferro House at 305 Hyde Park Avenue, c.a. 1893. Influences of this style are found in the use of classical details in several styles, such as the Colonial Revival, Queen Anne Revival, and in simpler vernacular examples.
