Closer to home than Greece. Six of these magnificent columns are a feature of our local Art Gallery building. It was built for the Bank Of New South Wales in 1884 with local stone. Trans Tasman rivalry was in play even back then as this Australian bank was built right next door to the Bank of Otago which was a little smaller and boasted just 4 columns :)
There is a photo of them both HERE
