<p>Hi, I visited Yale (along with Princeton and Columbia) last march, but I forgot a lot of the stuff I saw. I’m doing an art history project right now…and I need to find examples of the following:</p>
<p>corinthian column
rotunda
equestrian statue (horse)
ambulatory
pilaster</p>
<p>Does anyone know any structures at Yale that have each of these features? If so, could you please share and possibly provide a picture? Much appreciated!</p>
<p>Does anyone know of any pilasters or ambulatories at Yale?</p>
<p>I believe Commons and Woolsey Hall both have Corinthian columns. In between the two is the Memorial Rotunda, and Sterling Library undoubtedly has pilasters inside. Do a Google image search and find out… :)</p>
<p>I’m having hard time finding pics of Sterling Library…esp the inside. Can you help me out?</p>
<p>You’ll find many of those elements on the webpage below.</p>
<p>Take some time to scroll down and check out the cool old photographs of the campus. It looks the same now. Architecturally, Yale is by many times over the greatest and best-endowed campus in the country, if not the world, which is a direct result of how much it cost to build the place. You might not realize this fact from a brief visit, because the most impressive treasures are hidden within.</p>

<p>Ah, awesome link…except someone call me dumb, but I don’t think I can find a pilaster in there? lol…I got pictures of the rest of the terms btw.</p>
<p>Go to flickr dot com and type in this:</p>

<p>you’ll see pilasters (Yale U dining hall @ commons)</p>
<p>also yale law library, but no capitals to speak of.</p>
<p>posterx, thank you so much! We live far, far from Connecticut, and no one among our friends and family have seen Yale, and many are unlikely to, including my very old father. These images are exquisite. I spent only a few hours on the campus in March, and was so distracted listening to the tour guide, trying to get to appointments on time, and talking and thinking about Yale with my daughter that much of the beauty of the campus slipped by me. </p>
<p>My daughter was at Yale for a weekend in September and fell head over heels. She can’t consider any other choices. I understand now.</p>
<p>I’m sending this link to those who question her eagerness to leave us.</p>
<p>Having extensively visited all of the country’s top 25 universities and LACs, I would say that the architecture at Yale easily outweighs that of the other 24 schools combined.</p>
<p>predator, a pilaster is a column attached to a wall, or in other words, a decorative column that does not serve any structural support. i think i saw a whole bunch of them on that page… notably under the caption “This has always been a place with things poking into the sky. The old ones were slender and graceful; they aspired. In those days folks didn’t think height was bad:” about 1/3 of the way down the page</p>
<p>A lot of those buildings have pilasters. Glad you liked the website.</p>
