Q: How many stories are typical in Greek Revival architecture?

• <div><p>Most Greek Revival architecture homes are one and a half to two stories, depending on the footprint, which sets them apart from some Federal architecture homes that are three stories.

Q: Are home elevators a good choice to improve my home’s accessibility?

Elevators allow anyone, even those who use wheelchairs or walkers, to safely move between floors within your home.</p><p>Dumbwaiters may allow you to move items up and down floors, and stair lifts can move people up and down, but elevators are the best option if you need space for people, their belongings, and/or mobility aids such as wheelchairs.</p><p>That said, home elevators cost more than other options, such as stair lifts.
