The Neoclassical Revival came to its pinnacle at the same time as did the Beaux Arts, in the period from 1890-1915. The buildings of this style are larger than those of the Greek Revival and simpler than those of the Beaux Arts Classicism. Unadorned, flat space on the façade of the buildings is common, in stark contrast to that to the North Italian Mode. Unlike the Beaux-Arts Style, the roof lines of the Neoclassical buildings are relatively calm, unadorned with sculptures, and columns are not paired. In terms of the orders, the Greek is used to a larger extent than the Roman, resulting in a greater presence of the post-and-lintel style as opposed to the arch.
