Hello Brent, been to Greece 11 times. First Generation Greek & still have tons of family there. We spent entire Summers there as children. I've done some reading on the Greek Revival period in American Architecture. Pretty cool stuff. Loving your videos Bud, hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Thank you for the history lessons... I never thought or pay attention to the styles of the older homes. I just duplicate what I can for the needs of the house for what is there or I see Thank you
Hi Brent. I couldn’t find the video you were referencing on classicist.org. Can you provide a link? I went back to the spring of 2021 in the article catalog… Thanks, Matt
I wish you could do a video on the cheap Home Depot profiles and explain where they are getting their ideas from. It would be nice to know what I have installed in the past and how stupid it is or what vague resemblance to an original style it used to have
Sr. I am interested in acquiring your books but I would like 2 sets , I would like one pair autographed and the other for reading. How do we make that happen?
The Greek Revival did NOT start in 1840. There were outstanding examples in the northeast by 1820. Including in pattern books. By 1830 it was the most common new style all over states like New York. Most 1830's homes up and down the Hudson and clear out to Ohio and beyond were Greek Revival. Asher Benjamin had full blown Greek Revival details by the 1820's in his books. It was so common by 1835 the Benjamin wrote of the Grecian orders in his latest book, that they were: "fashioned according to the style and practice of the present day." Minard Lafever by 1833 had some of the most elaborate Greek Revival detailing.
Rome still rules, there such an influence by Rome, particularly Constatine that is huge in our world today, particularly Great Britain and the USA, were it explained, most would be stunned. I'm not indicating that it's a Positive Influence and I'm not speaking to Architecture.
Finish Carpentry TV sent me over...sub'd. Amazing work

Great idea. Let me figure it out. Thanks for the idea.
@@BrentHull I'm a GC finish carpenter in Oregon, UA-cam is my education, so thanks for all you do!
More gold
Thanks!
It would be better without the zoom sound effects.
Thanks for the note.
Will you discuss neoclassical or southern colonial revival seen in the early 20th century?
I'll try.

Send an email with your request to info@Brenthull.com. Thanks so much
my favvvvv except with a southern twist
Thanks
Greek Revival is my preference, of the Classic Options. I prefer Frank Lloyd Wright's designs, but could easily merge the 2.
Interesting. I'd love to see that. Thanks.

I can't imagine traveling back then doing the grand tour. All that luggage. I bet most young aristocrats brought servant or 2.
Good point, I suspect you are right, depending on wealth. The poor guys version was shorter but still hit the big spots, France and Italy.
You know Greeks did something right. It's been copied since the Roman era
Exactly! Its been said, Greece was the Mother of Rome. Thanks
