Hyphen Help

Hello,

Please tell me if I hyphenated this correctly: "...classic Greek Revival-style antebellum home."

Thank you!

Yes. You don't hyphenate proper nouns. If you have an en dash, you can use it there in place of the hyphen.

Hi,

Add a hyphen after 'Greek'.

But the sentence is still inelegant. I'd rewrite it as
eg ......antebellum home in the classic Greek-Revival style .
