The columns were part of the original Territorial University building, which was established in 1861, 28 years before Washington became a state in 1889.
These historic columns now stand in Sylvan Grove on the University of Washington campus, serving as a reminder of the university's beginnings.
The columns are designed in the Corinthian style, which is characterized by ornate capitals decorated with acanthus leaves.
The columns were moved to their current location in 1911 after the original university building was demolished.
Many University of Washington students choose to take their graduation photos in front of these historic columns, symbolizing the university's rich history.
