Unity Temple, Oak Park, exterior detail

Here's a picture from my recent excursion to Oak Park during the recent Midwest Political Science Association meeting in Chicago. This is a detail of the columns of Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple. I was really interested in the design of these columns, which combines a classical feel with geometric patterns similar to the interior stained glass, which show Japanese influence (?). I'm no art historian.

The Oak Park excursion was definitely worth the el ride from the Loop.
