Here are a few select photographs of modern buildings with Roman/Greek influences (click on the thumbnails to enlarge picture):
This is a view of the National Archive located in Washington, DC. Like the Supreme Court building, the National Archive boasts an ornately carved frieze with numerous characters. The National Archive is in a box-shape and many say it looks like a cage which is positive in a way since it contains many of the nation's most important and official documents. Its location is set away from the main crowd and attractions so it almost has a sort of ancient Greek effect.
This is a closeup view of the frieze on the Supreme Court building in Washington DC. The frieze contains several judges and then below that there is the quote, "Equal Justice Under Law".
This is the facade of the Supreme Court of the United States. There are dentiles around the building and Corinthian capitals with fluted column shafts. Also notice the detailed entablature.
These are the columns of the Jefferson Memorial. They are all Ionic capitals with the exception of the second capital to the left which appears to be Doric.
This is a front view of the Jefferson Memorial with its Ionic capitals and unique dome-shape.
This is the Russell B. Long Senate Office Building. This building is teeming with Roman archtiecture influences. From the arched doorways in the main entrace at the front to the fluted Doric columns and the niches on each side of the building. Dentiles are also found along the entire line of the building. There are also engaged pilars along the sides and front of the building.
This is the famous Washington Monument in Washington DC. Although this is not a traditional Roman style building, it does have Roman background. The Romans stole many architectural designs from the Egyptians for decorative purposes and the Washington Monument happens to be a very large obelisk, an Egyptian structure.
