Temples in the Hinterland

Bill’s first essay in a three-part series for the Robbins Hunter Museum, which occupies the Avery-Downer House in Granville, Ohio — a landmark of the Greek Revival in central Ohio. The piece traces the architectural tradition of the region’s antebellum public buildings and situates the Avery-Downer House within a broader pattern of civic aspiration expressed through classical form.

The essay is no longer available at its original link on the museum’s site; we will update this post with a working link if one surfaces.
