Gr&4 Revival.Deon. Just as doors were changed radi-
cally by the advent of the Adam, or Federal,style, they T-
rain underwent a transformation with the arrival of the
Greek Revival style around 183o. Unlike the change of
thirty years earlier.this was an evolution toward simplicity'
Greek Revival doors are usually four• or five-panel units. I
When they have Four panels, these doors have smaller
panels at the bottom and long ones above-Because the rail
that separates these two sets of panels is often below the
level of the traditional latch rail,latches of lacks on Greek T-
Rmival doors are often mounted on the door stile,above - LI
the rail. I
Many Gncck Revival doors have no moldings around —
their panels; stiles and rails have slightly beveled edges,
Whenioldings are used, they are wide Grecian ovolos r�l' �
or ogees,applied with brads. Panels may be flat or may
have a raised field.Most Greek Revival panch do not have
feathered edges;the field,if any,is formed by irbaring the Panel arrangements of characteristic Grock Rnival-stile dixirs,
margins of the panels. Draxingbvaurhoi.
Four-panel doors,with the smaller panels at the box- - - -
tom and with applied Grecian ogee moldings around the
panels, were fashionable for a long time Introduced Late-Nineseenth-Century D)vrs. Common doors of
around i83o,such doors continued to be made for a full the latter part of the nineteenth century tended to retain
century_ the four-or five-panel arrangements that had been intro-
duced with the advent of the Greek Revival style, `1'he
continuing development of woodworking machinery,es-
pecially four-surface molding machines,made such doors
a standard factory product,:Molding machines easily pro-
duced the various profiles of"sticking,"or moldings,that
were applied to the stiles and rails, and they coped and
renoned the ends of the rails for a perfect fit with the
— � machine-mortised stiles.
— The end of the nineteenth century saw the introduc-
tion ofa newstyle of door that endured,in ever decreasing
use,for a full century:This was the five-cross-panel door.
As its name implies,such doons have five panels of equal
size arranged one above the other, Usually made from
softwoods like southern yollow pine,Douglas fir,or Pon-
derosa pine, such doors were usually given a clear finish
that emphasized the grain of the wood. Five-cross-panel
doors were considered appropriate for almost any middle-
class house,being used equally in Arrs and Crafts bunga-
lows,colonial revival,Tudor,square,or any other type of
