President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled "Making Federal Architecture Beautiful Again," mandating that all new federal public buildings be constructed in a classical or traditional architectural style, specifically drawing from classical Greek and Roman influences. This order reverses a longstanding ban on such styles and revives Trump's previous opposition to modernist government architecture. The administration stated that adopting classical architecture aims to honor tradition, foster civic pride, and inspire the citizenry. The executive order was published on the White House website and emphasizes that from the nation's founding until the 1960s, federal buildings predominantly featured classical designs.
