Holy Family Catholic Church

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.)

• Eaves (eevs) The part of a roof that meets or overhangs the walls of a building

[some cool caption]

Is this a fenestration? I mean those things are kind of like windows...

These were taken on February 27. I think...yeah 27th.

I would like to thank Kelly's iPhone for these pictures...

Inside.

Thank you Kelly.

 

 

Mausoleum([maw-suh-lee-uh m) A monumental tomb. The name derives from the mid-fourth-century BCE tomb of Mausolos at Halikarnassos, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world.

First Baptist

I wish this had a mandorla on it. And I wish that didn't say tympanum. Because it isn't! The church architecture confuses me so much!

The picture says amblature but it's suppose to say ambulatory...and even more awkward, ITS WRONG. I looked at a diagram of an ambulatory and I thought it was a band-frieze around the choir or apse (or whatever this is because its not an apse) but I saw the definition and it's a walkway! And this didn't have an ambulatory.

AND.

This guy was having some one on one time with God...and I was just there taking pictures in a hoodie.

Can this count as a campanile? Or it it too small?

Boring.

Pilasters. Pilasters. Pilasters. Location: The Courthouse

This kind of looks like the Parthenon.

Sorry it's dark.

There's that guy praying still...

Again...disregard the altar label.

• Pendentive(pen-den-tiv) A concave, triangular section of a hemisphere, four of which provide the transition from a square area to the circular base of a covering dome. Although pendentives appear to be hanging (pendant) from the dome, they in fact support it.

• keystone  ([kee-stohn)  the wedge-shaped piece at the summit of an arch, regarded as holding the other pieces in place.

Although this capital form is often cited as the distinguishing feature of the Corinthian order, there is, strictly speaking, no Corinthian order, but only this style of capital used in the Ionic order.

First Presbyterian

These were taken on that beautiful Sunday. Feb 27 2013.

Entrance of First Presbyterian. 

Some nice tracery at the Springer Opera House!
Along with some buttresses, and all on a portico!

Does anyone think this look like coffee? Coffer. Coffee. Get it? Ha. No.

I'm going to be mad if that cornice are eaves.

Also, I'm not really sure if that counts as colonette. I TRIED.

I wish that pole wasn't there.

Now I'm thinking of the Hunchback of Notredam...maybe he lives there!?

Also, the pointy roof is a turret.

I though this counted as a buttress. I asked Amelia and she agreed. I took her word for it because she's 99.9% correct. Or did I ask Alyssa? Uh oh.

House off of eighth street...(you can see more buttresses on the pillars of this home.)

More buttresses! 1041 Second St.

Downtown Courthouse

 

These were taken on February 24th. I remember that day because it was a beautiful day; versus the usual gloomy, Georgia weather.

I don't know what those bas reliefs are. They look like whales around ninja stars. And that rose window doesn't even look like a rose.

We were lucky enough for this metope to have a frieze on it.

This frieze has nothing...not so lucky.

• architrave (/ˈärkiˌtrāv; ahr-ki-treyv) The lintel or lowest division of entablature; also called the epistyle
 
• frieze (freez)The part of the entablature between the architrave and the cornice; also, any sculptured or painted band in a building.
 
• cornice (ˈkôrnis)The projecting, crowning member of the entablature framing the pediment; also, any crowning projection.

•  pilaster (pi-las-ter) flat, rectangular, vertical member projecting from a wall of which it forms a part. It usually has a base and a capital and is often fluted.

• pediment (ped-uh-muh nt)In classical architecture, the triangular space (gable) at the end of a building, formed by the ends of the sloping roof above the colonnade; also, an ornamental feature having this shape.

• high relief(hahy ri-leef ) a sculptural relief in which forms extend out from the background to at least half their depth.

• Entablature
• Fluting
 

When the words are like this it means that I defined it in an earlier post. If there are repeats...I'm sorry...just don't want to accidentally not define something. But if you have any questions just ask one of your amazing presenters!



2400 Second Ave (an Ionic local)

 

 

Well first off sorry for the sad, little labels...I'm hoping with progression it will get better. Also Ms. Powell, I want you to know I crossed a very busy street and dodged a few sketchy people for these photos...(Can you say dedication?)

*Btw, the wainscoting and keystone are wrong...just ignore them.
