The Lincoln Memorial has columns from the Doric Order made of Greek Architecture.
Monticello contains columns, domes and porticoes used in Roman architecture.
The Romans rarely combined arches and columns. Large Roman buildings, the bridges and the bridgework of aqueducts made extensive use of the simple (barrel) arch and the vaulted arch (or vault, for vaulted roofs). Arches did not need columns.
