Following his time at Yale, Greenberg worked in the Connecticut court system as an architectural consultant from 1967-1979 [4]. During this time, Greenberg’s interest in classical architecture deepened and he drew critical praise for his work on a private home modeled after Mount Vernon [5]. More recently, Greenberg has explored the connection between classical forms and the history of democracy in the United States as expressed in his work on the State Department’s Treaty Room [6].

In 2006, Greenberg was the first American to receive a Driehaus prize [7].He is also a prominent scholar and teacher and has held appointments at Yale University, the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, and the University of Notre Dame [8]
