Throughout Boston there is many kinds of different architecture that is influenced from old cultures. The two forms of architecture that is most seen in Boston is the ancient Greek and Roman architecture. Both are similar in a way and the two structures referenced the most is the Parthenon and Pantheon. The Symphony Hall is right down the street from Wentworth. Symphony Hall has a classical use of column grid in the front and uses Corinthian columns. It also has some of the designs that the Pantheon used on its pediment. The first one that came to mind was the Parthenon, because of the use of Greek design, but mixed with the Pantheon's columns, framing the facade, Symphony Hall is influenced by Greek and Roman Architecture.
