Federal style architecture occurred in the United States between 1780 and 1830 , particularly from 1785 to 1815 . Federal style developed from the Georgian Neoclassical style, but differed in its use of plainer surfaces with attenuated detail; it was ''most'' influenced by the Adam Style , an interpretation of Ancient Roman architecture fashionable after the unearthing of Pompeii and Herculaneum . The American Eagle was a common symbol used in this style, with the Ellipse a frequent architectural Motif . The style reflected the nationalist aspirations of the time. Its successor was the Greek Revival style. ''Federalist Architects:'' EXTERNAL LINKS
