A structure in the horseshoe that caught my eye was the South Caroliniana Library. The library's enormous columns immediately demand attention when looking at the building. These columns are considered Doric style which dates back to Greek architecture. What is meant by this is that the there is no special design on the columns or the base on top supporting the structure. There are windows located on the front of the Library, each are topped with Archs. The Arched windows are partially hidden behind the Doric style columns but, both add to the buildings style. The building is that of the Greek Revival which gives the viewer a feeling of antiquity.
