Augusta GA--a brief architecture tour for HUM111 Assignment 3

Augusta’s museums all focus on things in very recent history, not things from ancient times to the 1500s. However, Augusta is rich in ARCHITECTURE that has features traceable to ancient and medieval times. The Greek Orders, the classical Greek and Roman architectural features, Byzantine style, the Romanesque, and the Gothic. See the pages and items mentioned by each structure listed below. Consider them as you look over the structure and jot down notes, identify features, etc. Above all, HAVE FUN!

Visit and report on AT LEAST 3 of the following structures. Exterior views only required.

1. the "Old Medical College of Georgia" building at 598 Telfair Street, Augusta GA 30901. Look for classical features (Greek and roman; chaps. 4-6; pp. 115-118, 140-145, 191-207).

2. Church of the Most Holy Trinity (Catholic Church) at 720 Telfair Street, Augusta GA. Is it Romanesque or Gothic? How can you tell? See chaps. 12 and 14 and Week 6 INSTRUCTOR INSIGHTS.

3. The Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 953 Telfair Street, Augusta GA. Look for classical Roman elements (chap. 6) and Byzantine elements (chap. 8). (optional--You might enjoy strolling inside to see the icons like those mentioned in chap. 8).
