Harvard Medical School reminds me of a Greek temple. The building has large ionic columns that creates a grand entrance in the building. They used an even number of columns, which is similar to what the Greeks would do. The pediment of the school is just finished with the schools name on it whereas the Greeks would decorate the pediment with images of stories. The material of the two buildings are also similar in the fact that they both use stone. It is clear that the Harvard Medical School building is a representation of the Temples of the Greeks.
