Neoclassical architecture was brought about as a rebellion to the Rocco style and as an outgrowth of some features of the Late Baroque period. The neoclassical style was mostly derived from the Classical Greek style.
Even today in some parts of the United States, some buildings, such as the Schermerhom Symphony Center, are still being built in the neoclassical style. The architects of Britain also use the neoclassical style.
This style first gained influence in France. Sweden also quickly adapted to this style. Some of the buildings in Washington DC are built in the neoclassical style.
