Federal style is an architectural design that emerged in the United States during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It reflects the ideals of the American Revolution and is characterized by its symmetry, classic proportions, and decorative elements inspired by Roman and Greek architecture. Common features include brick or wood facades, gabled roofs, and elegant doorways. In addition to architecture, Federal style also influenced furniture and interior design. Furniture from this period often includes straight lines, tapered legs, and inlaid woodwork. The overall aesthetic emphasizes simplicity and refinement, aligning with the values of the emerging American nation.
