There are many examples of ancient Doric buildings. Perhaps the most famous one is the Parthenon in Athens, which is probably the most famous and most studied building on Earth. Buildings built even now borrow some parts of the Doric order.
The Temple of Athena Nike in Athens, shown is one of the most famous Ionic buildings in the world. It is located on the Acropolis, very close to the Parthenon.
Charlotte City Hall has pairs of Corinthian columns and the typical flat Corinthian roof. The coumns have entasis. If you go see City Hall in person, the shafts will look straight to your eye, but they aren't! Designs like this, which are inspired by ancient buildings, are know as neoclassical.

Want Greek architecture? Go to Greece! Here are three:
There are doric columns in the Parthenon (and I think on the interior there are even some ionic)
The Erechtheum, next to the Parthenon,is Ionic.
The Monument of Lysikrates is Corinthian.
