These were taken February 27th.
I thought these were eaves....
That tree ruined the picture! It's not even alive, it's dead!
That statuette scared me...I thought it was a person.
Ba da ba ba ba, I'm lovin' it.
Get it? Because it looks like McDonalds...
Sorry, I'm not funny, on to more colonnades.
Anyways, I don't know about this colonnade. (Okay, according to the definition this isn't really one, but I looked for pictures and it said this was a colonnade.)

| I will pay somebody to tell me what this building is...I know it's near First Presbyterian. It was for sale or rent. But do you see that colonnade on that portico! (Nice!) |
It's an arch. With a point.

| More pointed arches! with an archivolt! (For another archivolt look at First Baptist.) |
