The company produced a set called 'Graecia', containing 285 stones and 96 roof plates, possibly as a supplement to set no. 12, which contained 600 stones. With these it was possible to build either a Greek temple or other buildings in the classical style. The set was introduced in 1911 in the United States and in 1914 in Germany, but the stones were not marketed until after the war. A representation of the Greek temple appears on the last page of the plan book to set no. 210, 'American Bungalows'. (Cf. Zwijnenberg, Peter A. The history of the Richter Anker stone blocks. George F. Hardy, trans. 3rd ed. Alphen a/d Rijn : Paz Mediakontakten, c1982.).
