Columns Around Campus

During a Humanities course in which we also discussed the different types of columns used in various types of architecture, my professor had the class go around campus and record the different types of columns that could be found around campus. I have been thinking about also doing this for this class, so I went around taking pictures of the different buildings on campus.

First, there's Oglebay Hall, which has Doric Columns.


Next, there is E. Moore Hall, which also has Doric Columns.



Next, there is Colson Hall, which is yet another building on campus with Doric Columns.


These are pictures of the building in between E. Moore Hall and Colson Hall (I'm not sure of the name). It has Ionic Columns.



I also took pictures of the Pi Beta Phi House. The main columns are Ionic and then the littler columns are Doric.
