What places in new york city have architecture derived from the romans? they dont have to be well known? -

i need four places in nyc with roman architecture influences, they dont have to be well known but i need an address or general idea of where they are

Grant s Tomb.Brooklyn Borough Hall.The Brooklyn Museum.The New York Public Library Research Library (the one at 42nd St. and 5th Ave.)The original building for the Morgan Library (they added a new, modernist section to the library, but the original building is the style you are looking for.)

Beaux arts is n architecture style derived from the Romans and Greeks. (Pronounce that Bozart) The most famous example is Grand Central Terminal. (Not Station!) Other examples are on the link below. Look to churches and courthouses that resemble ancient Roman temples.
