Architeaser – April 13

Yesterday’s Architeaser was from the front of the Old State House.  Originally it was intended to have six columns on the front and six columns on the back.  By the time it was built there were only four columns on the front and four on the back.  During an expansion, the entrance on the Arkansas River side was closed off, so now all that remain are the four columns which face Markham Street.

Today’s column capital is featured below.
