Walking on the streets of Northside, Lexington, Kentucky, we saw buildings with pillars.
Built from 1830 to 1834, this Greek Revival-style building was designed by Gideon Shryock to serve as the main building of Transylvania University. It replaced the university’s former main building, which was destroyed by fire in 1829. Affectionately known as Old Morrison, the building has served many purposes on the Transylvania campus; it has been an administration building, academic building, and chapel.

This is the heart of Chowmahalla Palace, Hyderabad, India. It is held in high esteem by the people of Hyderabad, as it was the seat of the Asaf Jahi dynasty. The grand pillared Durbar Hall has a pure marble platform on which the Takht-e-Nishan or the royal seat was laid. Here the Nizams held their durbar and other religious and symbolic ceremonies. The 19 spectacular chandeliers of Belgian crystal were recently reinstalled to recreate the lost splendor of this regal hall.
