T
hroughout the eighteenth and early nineteenth
century, houses of Georgian Federal and Greek Revival
styles were built as the newly arrived Europeans populated
the continental wilderness. Numerous sketches, prints
and paintings, contemporary historic recollections and
existing structures memorialize the construction of these
houses even as Native American culture continued to
thrive in their precincts. This Allan Greenberg Northern
California domicile is at home with these eminent
forebears.
���In this job I had truly remarkable and wonderful clients,
so the job from start to finish was a joy.��� This sentiment
augured well: this Allan Greenberg designed house
recently sold for $117 million, the highest price on record
in the history of the United States. It is a testimony to
the persistent value placed on the finest traditional
architecture.

the Mount, Washington D.C.���s Tudor Place and Maine���s
Hamilton House, in this remarkable house, Greenberg
