Enframed Block

The enframed block has a rectangular façade containing classical columns or pilasters in the form of a colonnade, which is framed by substantial corners, bays, or end walls.  As in some versions of the temple front, the colonnade has an entablature with a projecting cornice and a parapet or balustrade.  This type is frequently seen in the designs of banks, post offices, courts, and institutional buildings.
