    The two buildings shown above are fairly good models of the classic style.  Observe the dentils aligning the roof and the symmetrical appearance of the structure.  The lunette windows, which are now blocked out, are also a worthy depiction of the Classic style.  Also present within these buildings are entablature and grouped casements which are of Neoclassical origin.
