Ask and ye shall receive.

Relatively unknown even to locals, the formation of 22 sandstone columns stand atop a grassy knoll amidst the Ellipse Meadow of the U.S. National Arboretum in the District of Columbia�s northeast corner.

[. . .]

Crowned by ornate capitals carved with intricate floral motifs inspired by the Corinthian order of classical Greek and Roman architecture, the columns were originally built in 1828 to support the East Central Portico of the U.S. Capitol, directly under the building�s original dome.

However, when the current, much larger Capitol dome was completed in 1866, it overwhelmed the proportions of the columns, creating a discomforting visual impression that they were too small to support the superstructure above.

To correct this aesthetic incongruity, construction on an extension of the East Portico commenced in 1958. In the process, the original columns were removed and placed into storage by the U.S. government.

There they remained until the 1980s, when Ethel Shields Garrett, a benefactor of the National Arboretum, successfully advocated for the columns to be put back on public display. In 1984, landscape designer Russell Page sketched out a plan that would have the columns vertically punctuate the wide-open expanses of the Arboretum�s Ellipse Meadow.

Reinstallation of the columns began in 1988, and the site was completed and dedicated in 1990.

Yeah, they're from Harold Irvane's Sculpture Garden in Gravy's Point MO. Their website claims all of their sculptures are commissioned by a single donor.

I went there as a kid and besides these pillars the only thing I remember is that every single sculpture was completely surrounded by food trucks (you had to drive miles in between sculptures) and they very specifically advertised that water was free, but bottled water cost $4.50 on all the signs.

They always forget to advertise the free diarrhea that comes with the water, too. The idiots are leaving money on the table.

Yes! They used to be part of the Capitol built in 1828 but in the 1950s part of the capitol was renovated and they were put on a warehouse somewhere before being moved to the National Arboretum in the 80s.

If your ever in DC and the weather is good visit the National Arboretum, it owns.

But can we get the chicken wings into the crust somehow, and maybe use the pizza itself for a burger bun? These are the hard questions america is willing to tackle. :thunk:
