Federal Colonial houses became popular in America during the late 18th century, specifically between 1780 and 1830. This architectural style was heavily influenced by the neoclassical designs of the time, particularly the architecture of ancient Greece and Rome. Federal Colonial houses often showcased symmetrical designs, strict proportions, elegant detailing, and grand entrances, reflecting the growing national pride and the desire to emulate the architectural styles of European powerhouses like England and France.
