I picked out one of the MCPHS buildings for my comparison because although there were a lot of comparisons between Greek and Greek revival architecture they were mostly based on the aesthetics and copying the old architecture. This building modernizes everything but uses columns to frame and draw attention to the entrance on an otherwise ordinary building, which is very similar to what many purely frontal Greek and Etruscan temples did. For the comparison I used the Etruscan Temple at Veii. Its shows how the sides were plain and unfinished and I thought it was a good comparison.
