The government buildings were actually intended to mimic the classic architecture in order to give it a sense of legitimacy by hearkening back to the great democracies in the past.

However, they are neoclassical in design, with a strong influence of art deco that was added during the rise in the central government during the New Deal and World War II.

The Smithsonian museums also largely have taken on the neoclassical appearance, with some obvious divergence. However, if you get up to the National Cathedral, it looks more like a Gothic building. If you really want to see some place that resembles an ancient church, head to the northern extremes of DC to the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Its architecture is Byzantine, and the interior has a variety of chapels that draw from many styles of altars, etc.
