If you wanna use big boy words you could call it architecturally illiterate. It's trying to imitate a style with no knowledge of how you're supposed to do that. It's a bunch of architectural elements haphazardly thrown around with no underlying structure or methodology. There's over 1000 years of literature written about classical architecture, I'd suggest anyone designing these buildings read up on some of it lest they churn out something like this monstrosity. Of course the people churning out these designs don't give a shit about doing it right, they just take all these styles and mix them before dumbing it down to the cursed American suburban "style" and slap it on whatever. They probably went to a firm that usually designs generic office buildings and asked them to make it "old looking".
It's a cheap imitation that cannot compare to the buildings it's supposed to resemble.
I'd appreciate modern classical buildings designed by people who actually know what the fuck they're doing.
