Answer:

A. Before the war

Explanation:

The word "antebellum" is especially associated with the US Civil War meaning 'before the war'. The word 'antebellum' is derived from the Latin phrase 'ante' means 'before' and 'Bellum' means 'the war'. The Antebellum houses exemplify the neoclassical architectural style which is the feature of the 19th century United States. This style flourished after the 'American Revolution' and before the 'Civil War'. It includes baroque shapes and patterns in the interior while characterized by a box-like style from outside.
