It is not just the many Americans. It is also many Europeans. Greek and, especially, Roman architecture became the model for European architecture from the 14th to the early 20th century. They were the model of Renaissance architecture (14th and 16th century), Baroque architecture (17th and 18th centuries) and Neoclassical architecture (18th to early 20th century). European settlers took the Neoclassical style to America and the interest in Renaissance and Baroque architecture.
