The building is designed in the Classical Revival architectural style. Characteristics of the style found on the building include monumental columns, dentils (square blocks), and balustrades. The exterior is clad in limestone, with granite used to cover the basement level. The rusticated two-story base contains limestone blocks with deeply recessed joints.
>> The Classical style is Greek. Revival was brought back with Greek influence, but not constructed by them.

They are all inspired by Roman architecture. Look at pictures of the Colosseum and the pantheon and then compare them to the Capital building (DC) and even the Lincoln memorial.
