Order
The Lincoln Memorial has columns from the Doric Order made of Greek Architecture.
The Romans did not use three building styles more often. They adopted the three Greek orders (styles) for building columns: Dorian, Ionian and Corinthian. They also adopted the Tuscan (Etruscan) order, but only for fortifications and warehouses. They introduced the composite order, which was a mixture of two orders, usually the Ionic and Corinthian. For the rest, Roman architecture was very different from Greek architecture.

Ornamental and decorative molding in ancient Greek architecture was different depending on which order of architecture it came from. There are three classic Greek orders that progress from fairly simple to quite ornate: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian.
