...scavenger








After finally leaving Deleware...I decided to drive around and look at some houses and maybe restaurants that had anything that would remind me of the pantheon, and I found A LOT! What I realized and its something that I have overlooked a million times is that it seems every hair salon has some type of greek/roman influence in the design, either theres a column somewhere or vines, or fake intricate molding. I thought it was pretty cool and come to think of it I know my hair dressers salon definitely is designed to look like a greek ruin inside with columns and vines everywhere....weird

Heres some houses that look like they had some influence....



This house was absolutely beautiful, it was ride outside of the park and I loved this place. You can't see it in the picture but theres this cozy little sun room underneath this upper section.






Sorry I can't figure out how to rotate the pic, but I think the doric columns on the doorway make the house seem more grand and big like the monument






Here are a couple more examples of doric columns. Also on my scavenger hunt I saw some statues that reminded me of the pantheon, or of that type of culture.




....the one on the right made me kinda uncomfy, not really but I was looking at him from a different kind of angle.
