This building in the Boston Commons reminded me of some of the buildings we learned about in the Greece lectures, one being the Propylaea building that had square corner columns and round inner columns. It also resembled the Temple of Athena Nike where the columns capitals turn to make the corner these ones just stay on a 45-degree. Also the columns on this building have entasis, which shows the Greece columns. This part of the building is at the top of the ten-story building (ninth and tenth floors) which shows its hierarchy like the acropolis.
