Editing Colonnade (section)

== History ==

Colonnades (formerly as colonade) have been built since ancient times and interpretations of the classical model have continued through to modern times, and Neoclassical styles remained popular for centuries.<ref name="Doremus">{{cite book|last1=Doremus|first1=Thomas|title=Classical Styles in Modern Architecture: From the Colonnade to Disjunctured Space|date=1999|publisher=Van Nostrand Reinhold|location=New York|isbn=0442016662}}</ref> At the [[British Museum]], for example, porticos are continued along the front as a colonnade.  The porch of columns that surrounds the [[Lincoln Memorial]] in [[Washington, D.C.]], (in style a ''peripteral'' classical temple) can be termed a colonnade.<ref>[http://www.wadsworth.com/cgi-wadsworth/course_products_wp.pl?resource_id=10&fid=M35&product_isbn_issn=0155050907&chapter_number=10&altname=Glossary Student Resource Glossary]</ref> As well as the traditional use in buildings and monuments, colonnades are used in sports stadiums such as the [[Harvard Stadium]] in [[Boston]], where the entire horseshoe-shaped stadium is topped by a colonnade. The longest colonnade in the United States, with 36 [[Corinthian column]]s, is the [[New York State Education Building]] in Albany, New York.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://archive.today/20120729235220/http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=newyorkstatedepartmentofeducationbuilding-albany-ny-usa New York State Department of Education Building]}}.
