Some of European architectural styles were influenced by Greco-Roman styles. The Italian Renaissance was a period of rediscovery of the classics (Romans and Greeks). Many famous architects of the time were influenced by Roman architecture, which in turn had been influenced by Greek architecture. Some of these architects had an enduring influence in Europe. This influence was also continued by the Neo-classical style of the 18th and 19th centuries. In the early Middle Ages there was also the Romanesque style which copied Roman styles.
However, the mentioned styles are only some of the European styles. Some western European styles were not influenced by Greek or Roman styles, the most notable of these being the Gothic style. In Eastern Europe there were also styles that did not have a Greek influence.
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.
