This is about right.  This would be right in the middle of what has
been called the "American Renaissance," a period of booming growth in
the US, but culturally very dependant on Europe's past greatness.
But, then again, Europe's own cultural greatness was in it's past.
"Revivalist" and "Neo" this or that art and architectural style of the
past held sway for quite a while on both sides of the Atlantic,
eventaully to give way to expressions of "Modernism."
