Dimensions and Specifications Length = 69.5 meters (101.3ft) Width = meters (228ft) Height = meters (45.34ft) The columns were 1.9 meters in diameter and 10.4 meters in height. – The columns were not set in the most common style for design. This specific style is known as the Doric Style (6 columns on short side and 13 on the long side.)

Parthenon vs. Lincoln Memorial PARTHENON VS. LINCOLN MEMORIL

Differences The Lincoln Memorial uses all right angles vs. the Parthenon uses optical illusion of the perfect building but when looked at closely it is shaped like a trapezoid. The columns of the Parthenon are leaning in to give even more of the perfect building look vs. the Lincoln Memorial’s columns are straight up. The Lincoln Memorial has a flat roof vs. the Parthenon has a triangular, gable end roof.

Similarities They both honor a leader or god (same basic idea) They have similar design. (column structure) They both hold a large statue. They both are close to the typical Greek Doric temple.
