Decorative, architectural architectural columns sample and photos.

Many standard designs of architectural columns are available that can be used for corner accents, room seperators, porch and ornamental garden features, and many more. The Colonial Wood column comes with a one year warranty for stock, architectural and clear (smooth) decorative columns.

They come in either round or square varying in size. All columns are available either smooth or fluted.

Architectural Facts of the Parthenon

  • The Parthenon in Athens was carved out of Pentelic marble and it took the Greeks approximately 10 years to construct the building, 447-438 B.C.
  • Nashville's Parthenon was created from brick, stone, structural reinforced concrete, and cast concrete aggregate. It took the City of Nashville nearly 10 years to build their Parthenon, 1921-1931.
  • All horizontal architectural elements arch slightly in the center. This means there are no true straight horizontal lines in the Parthenon. These architectural refinements made the Parthenon look alive and flawless to the human eye. This curvature is repeated in Nashville's Parthenon.
  • The Parthenon is 65 feet high at its apex.
  • The peristyle consists of 46 Doric columns, 17 on each side, 6 on each end (not counting the corner columns twice).
  • All of the exterior columns incline slightly inward. The corner columns are diagonally inclined; that is, they are angled toward both sides. Scholars disagree on the precise reasons for these refinements, but they clearly serve the aesthetic functions of the building.
  • The columns of the building differ in diameter from the ones beside them and are all spaced slightly differently.
  • All of the columns share a refinement called the entasis, a slight bulge or convex curvature of the shaft. Thus, although the shaft tapers, the largest diameter is about one-third of the way up rather than at the base.
