The architecture of Washington, D.C.'s most famous buildings can be largely described as Neoclassical. According to the Architect of the Capitol website, "Neoclassical architecture style encompasses the styles of Federal and Greek Revival architecture which were a major influence during the late 18th and early 19th centuries." The United States Capitol Building, as well as the U.S. Supreme Court Building, are both examples of Neoclassical architecture.
