The symmetrical Classical Revival style was very popular for large American homes in the first half of this century. There are two periods of Classical Revival popularity: the first occurring from 1895-1920 and the second from 1925 to the 1950s. The earlier period emphasized hipped roofs and correct, elaborate full-height columns, while examples from the later phase more often had side-gabled roofs and simpler, slender full-height columns. Locally, Classical Revival residences are usually two stories in height, but one story hipped-roof cottages were common in other areas of the country. Typical full-height entry porticos may be narrower than the main house and have either a flat roof or a Greek Revival-inspired front-facing pedimented gable. More popular, especially after 1925 and continuing to the present, were full-facade porches covered either by the main roof itself or a shed or flat extension from the main roof. Details and doorways may be based on Classical Greek or Roman, Adam (Federal or Georgian Colonial) precedents. The exterior surface is either smooth finished stone or, more likely in Lubbock, brick. Large public and commercial examples of this style are similar to residential examples in the use of colossal columns, although these may be pilasters below an attached pediment instead of a projected porch supported by detached columns. Exterior surfaces are usually covered with brick or smooth stone and a series of pilasters may be placed on either side of the portico. Parapets, an unadorned roof line and a plain entablature are also common features. Although the 1916 Lubbock County Courthouse, the 1923 Lubbock City Hall, and a few commercial buildings were built in this style, no Classical Revival public buildings from the early period remain.
