After the Civil War its severe later phase was extinguished by the romantic styles of the Victorian period. Among the important buildings of the American classic revival are the Washington monument, Baltimore (1815), by Robert Mills; Bank of the United States, Philadelphia (1819-24), by William Strickland; campus buildings, Univ. of Virginia (1817-26), by Thomas Jefferson; Merchants' Exchange, Philadelphia (1832-34), by William Strickland; main building, Girard College, Philadelphia (1833-47), by T. U. Walter; and dome and wings of the Capitol at Washington (1851-65), by T. U. Walter.
