This is a picture of South Quadrangle dorm. The first thing that stands out to me are the columns. You can see that they are of the ionic structure. At the top they are very defined as the circle back toward the ground which is called the capitol of the column. The base of the column is squared off, and have defined lines cutting through the base of the column. The arch at the bottom of the building is very unique. It leads to the basement and has two glass doors. I think installing arch instead of a more squared off opening really gives the building flare. It is very beautiful and the brickwork around the arch makes it look even better. The large bricks are laid in a stretching coarse pattern, except around the arch. The bricks are laid around the arch and meets the stretching coarse pattern, This breaks up the pattern of the brinks and gives it a unique look. I think the style of this building is greek revival. The large columns and and the large dome on top of the building give it away as a greek revival style.
