The 70ft arch, inspired by Roman architecture,

Greek, surely.

A little research suggests that the Romans had their own distinct version of
"Doric" architecture, so maybe the article was right.


The correct description of the architectural style of the Euston Arch
is "Greek Revival".

Irrespective of its architectural style it's not actually an arch, is
it? What would the correct classical term for this kind of structure
be, assuming they actually built anything like this?
