Greek Revival Houses in Cambridge MA

Recently, as part of a series on local architecture on my blog, I wrote a post about Greek Revival houses, an architectural style popular in Cambridge and nearby towns and cities.

Of course I had to take some photographs to illustrate the post.

Well now I can't stop. I see wonderful examples of Greek Revivals everywhere. Not to mention the bungalows, Victorians, and triple deckers that are subjects of other posts.

So far my colleagues are bearing with me as I slam on the brakes and leap out of the car to take yet another photograph. But their good will may be tested as I hold up our tour, retrace my steps, ever in search of yet another photo of a great house.

I guess this obsession shouldn't be a surprise. Years ago when I lived in New Haven Connecticut my daily walk took me past an absolutely beautiful selection of houses. While I have nary a photo of colleagues or friends from my two year stay, I do have two photograph albums of my wonderful houses I passed each day.

Here are a few of my favorite Cambridge Greek Revivals.
