Architect Nikolai Yakovlev (1879-1956). The towers at the corners of the neoclassical buildings of the time are no longer the pseudo-Gothic spires or the voluminous domes of the neo-Baroque style, but round belvederes under domes reminiscent of the work of Renaissance architects. The architectural character of the house is expressed in its upward orientation; the rigidity of the rhythmically divided facades of the window rows. The façade is almost devoid of brick or sculptural ornamentation, with a few Classical wreaths or leaf garlands and relatively modest ornament.
The Utah State Capitol is the house of government for the U.S. state of Utah. The building houses the chambers and offices of the Utah State Legislature, the offices of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, the State Auditor and their staffs. The capitol is the main building of the Utah State Capitol Complex, which is located on Capitol Hill, overlooking downtown Salt Lake City.
The Neoclassical revival, Corinthian style building was designed by architect Richard K.A. Kletting, and built between 1912 and 1916. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Beginning in 2004, the capitol underwent a major restoration and renovation project. The project added two new buildings to the complex, while restoring many of the capitol's public spaces to their original appearance. One of the largest projects during the renovation was the addition of a base isolation system which will allow the building to survive as much as a 7.3 magnitude earthquake. After completion of the renovations, the building was rededicated and resumed normal operation in January 2008.

Somerset House is a large Neoclassical building situated on the south side of the Strand in central London, overlooking the River Thames, just east of Waterloo Bridge. The building, originally the site of a Tudor palace, was designed by Sir William Chambers in 1776, and further extended with Victorian wings to the east and west in 1831 and 1856 respectively.
The East Wing forms part of the adjacent Strand campus of King's College London.
Magnificent, 4-storey neoclassical style villa, probably built in the early/mid 1700's on a former small castle. The villa has been rebuilt twice, mainly the facade area. An imposing avenue once led to the castle, lined with tall, old trees. Unfortunately, the trees had to be felled in the 1990s and the avenue disappeared. The building was surrounded by beautifully landscaped English-style gardens, to the rear of the house was a lily pond and a small river where regattas were held with guests from the nobility and royalty. Today the garden has grown wild, the former beauty can only be guessed at. Over the centuries, the castle has had a variety of owners, influential families, nobles, engineers, lawyers and artists. At the end of the 1930's the property was sold again, the new owner had the castle restored by painters, plasterers and gardeners and lived there until the late 1950's. The property has since been owned by a company and has fallen into disrepair.

The origins of the present South Carolina State House, a fine example of neoclassical architecture and the third in the State's history, can be traced back to the 1849 recommendation of Govenor Whitemarsh B. Seabrooks that a fireproof building be constructed by the State to protect its historic papers. The cornerstone for such a facility was laid in 1851, but 2 years later the legislature expanded the project to include construction of a new capitol. By 1851, work was proceeding rapidly but had to be stopped when it was discovered that poor workmanship and materials had caused the walls to crack. At this juncture, John Rudolph Niernsee, an Austrian-born architect then residing in Baltimore, was hired to oversee the project. Niernsee drafted a new design for the building—which would be followed with few exceptions until completion—and late in 1855, after the cracked walls had been razed, construction resumed. Using granite from the nearby Congaree River and $1,240,032 in legislative appropriations, Niernsee, by 1860, had completed most of the exterior work on the new capitol, and by 1862 its vaults were ready to receive the public papers.
During the Civil War, construction continued albeit on a somewhat limited basis. In February 1865, William T. Sherman and the Union Army occupied Columbia, and he ordered a number of public buildings including the old state house put to the torch. For some unknown reason, Sherman spared the unfinished state house. Although some have claimed he admired its beauty and left it alone for that reason, South Carolina historian A.S. Salley offers a more likely explanation: "He probably wished to save the store of explosives it would have taken to blow it up and he probably feared injury to his reckless, drunken soldiers in the explosions." Despite the exemption, the structure did suffer damage from shelling and the burning of the nearby old state house. Sherman's men also destroyed $700,000 worth of finished marble and other materials as well as Niernsee's models and plans.
In the first years after the war, work on the building proceeded very slowly. Not until 1869 was the roof finished and the legislature able to meet in the still uncompleted building. These were the years of Reconstruction, and the capitol served as the setting for some of this drama's most exciting scenes. Between 1869 and 1874, the only State legislature in American history with a black majority sat here, attracting attention both in this country and abroad. In 1873, James Shepherd Pike, a leading Republican journalist, used the capitol as the backdrop for his famous book, The Prostrate State: South Carolina under Negro Government, which made blacks appear as "ignorant dupes, the tools, of Federal power." Although Pike, according to his biographer Robert P. Burden, was "far from dispassionate in his influential report on Reconstruction", his account was accepted at face value because of his prominence. Pike's book also influenced historians, helping reinforce the image of Reconstruction as an era of black domination, corruption, and misrule. In 1935, Henry S. Commager praised its "transparent honesty" and "thorough documentation," and as late as 1947, it was described as the classic work on Reconstruction outrages. The interpretation presented in The Prostrate State is, of course, no longer accepted by most historians.
The state house also witnessed one of the final acts of Reconstruction. In 1876, Wade Hampton and the Democrats conducted their famous "Red Shirt" campaign against Daniel H. Chamberlain and the Republicans in a concerted effort to "redeem" the State. "Both parties engaged in fraud, with some counties reporting more votes than there were registered voters", says historian Alien W. Trelease. The result was that both Hampton and Chamberlain claimed victory, and their respective parties claimed control of the lower house of the legislature. When the General Assembly convened in November 1876, the Democratic members of the lower house withdrew when several of their members' election certificates were not recognized. They then chose William H. Wallace speaker while Republicans elected Edwin W.M. Mackey to the same post. On November 30, the Democratic legislators returned to the capitol and "thus was seen the singular spectacle of two speakers and two Houses conducting deliberations in the same hall." Four days later, because of threatened bloodshed, the Wallace House moved to another meeting place, probably at the urging of Wade Hampton who exerted himself to the utmost to maintain peace. According to scholar Hampton M. Jarrell, if Wade Hampton "had no other claim to greatness, his wise leadership during the five months following the election of 1876 would entitle him to both state and national honor; for during this crisis he maintained peace in an area where, but for him, violence would have erupted." Next, both Chamberlain and Hampton were inaugurated as Governor, and South Carolinians found themselves confronted with the spectacle of dual government. It soon became apparent that Hampton and the Wallace House had the full backing of the white population and that Chamberlain and the Mackey House were tolerated only because of the presence of Federal troops in the state. On April 10, 1877, fulfilling part of the compromise which had allowed his United States Presidential inauguration, Rutherford B. Hayes withdrew these troops, and the following day Hampton and his supporters assumed full control of the government of South Carolina.
Because of the austerity programs of "Redeemers" like Hampton, work on the capitol proceeded slowly. Finally, in 1885, Governor Hugh S. Thompson, a strong advocate of completing the capitol, recalled John Rudolph Niernsee, its original architect, from Baltimore, but he died before he was able to resume the project. From 1888 to 1891 his son, Frank McHenry Niernsee, served as architect, and under his direction much of the interior work was completed. In 1900, Frank Milburn became architect and stirred up a great deal of controversy because he substituted the present dome for the tower which had been envisioned by the elder Niernsee. Because much of Milburn's work was of inferior quality, he was replaced in 1905 by Charles Coker Wilson, who corrected these deficiencies and finished the exterior in 1907. Finally, after 56 years and the expenditure of $3,450,000, the South Carolina State House had been completed. Since 1907 the exterior of the capitol has changed little, while the interior has been modernized. Today, it still serves as the meeting place for the South Carolina General Assembly and contains the Governor's Office, and the Office of the Legislative Council.
For its long, storied history, the South Carolina State House was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on June 5, 1970 and later determined to be a National Historic Landmark (NHL) on May 11, 1976.

Ermoupoli Town Hall. "Between 1822 and 1865, Ermoupoli was rebuilt in a Neoclassical style, merging Greek Classicism with elements of the Renaissance. Many landmarks such as the City Hall (designed by the German architect Ernst Ziller), the Apollo Theatre by the Italian architect Pietro Campo (a miniature version of the La Scala in Milan), the main Library, the General Hospital of Syros (Vardakeio-Proio), Miaoulis square and other buildings were built during that period of time."

Nusretiye Mosque is an ornate mosque located in Tophane district of Beyoğlu, Istanbul, Turkey. It was built in 1823–1826 by Sultan Mahmut II.
The mosque was commissioned by Mahmud II and built between 1822 and 1826 in the Tophane neighbourhood. Its name commemorates the "victory" which Mahmud II won by destroying the Janissaries in 1826, the year of the mosque's completion. Mahmud II also built a new artillery barracks and parade ground near the mosque at the same time, replacing the barracks which had been built on this site by his predecessor Selim III and which had been recently destroyed by the Janissaries. This continued Tophane's association with the age of reforms initiated by Selim III.
The mosque is the first major imperial work by Krikor Balian, from the prominent Balian family of Armenian-Ottoman architects. It is sometimes described as belonging to the Empire style, but is considered by scholar Godfrey Goodwin and Doğan Kuban as one of the last Ottoman Baroque mosques. Ünver Rüstem describes the style as moving away from the Baroque and towards an Ottoman interpretation of Neoclassicism. Goodwin also describes it as the last in a line of late imperial mosques that started with the Nuruosmaniye Mosque in the 18th century.
The mosque follows the model of Selim III's imperial mosque in Üsküdar, as seen in some of its details and in the portico and double-winged imperial pavilion fronting the mosque. The mosque was innovative in other details such as the greater use of vaults and stairways, the use of wood instead of stone for elements like stairs, and in the decoration of the dome where the traditional circular Arabic inscription is replaced with a vegetal foliate motif. Despite its relatively small size the mosque's tall proportions creates a sense of height, which may the culmination of a trend that began with the Ayazma Mosque. From the outside, the mosque's most notable details are the extreme slenderness of its minarets and its two Rococo-style sebils which have flamboyantly undulating surfaces.

A textbook sweep of Neoclassical elegance, Hillside Crescent forms one of the most graceful arcs in Edinburgh’s 19th-century New Town expansion. Completed in the 1820s and designed by the architect William Henry Playfair, this curving terrace was intended as an eastern gateway to the city’s grand urban grid.
The prominent fluted columns, ironwork balconies, and harmonious proportions reflect Playfair’s mastery of the Greek Revival style. Originally a fashionable residential address for merchants and professionals, Hillside Crescent still maintains its dignified air — and a well-earned 20mph speed limit.
🇫🇷 Un exemple classique d’élégance néoclassique, Hillside Crescent dessine l’une des courbes les plus gracieuses de l’expansion de la Nouvelle Ville d’Édimbourg au XIXe siècle. Achevée dans les années 1820 par l’architecte William Henry Playfair, cette terrasse incurvée marquait à l’origine une entrée est majestueuse dans la ville.
Ses colonnes cannelées, balcons en fer forgé et proportions équilibrées illustrent parfaitement le style grec de Playfair. Quartier prisé par les bourgeois éclairés d’autrefois, Hillside Crescent conserve aujourd’hui son allure distinguée — et un prudent 20mph imposé.
