In a Greek Revival Mansion, the door typically reflects the architectural style and grandeur of ancient Greek buildings. It is characterized by its substantial size and often made of wood or metal. The most significant feature of the door is the prominent lintel, which is supported by classical columns or pilasters on either side. The lintel itself may be decorated with intricate carvings or moldings, depicting classical motifs such as Greek key patterns, wreaths, or mythical figures. The door may also feature a transom window above, allowing additional natural light into the entrance hall. Overall, the door in a Greek Revival Mansion aims to emulate the elegance and classicism of ancient Greek architecture.
