Description

The Temple of Concord and Victory is an Ionic temple built in 1749 by Earl Temple, originally known as the Grecian Temple. It was renamed in 1763 to commemorate the Peace of Paris. The temple features a portico with six fluted columns and a pediment, which is approached by a flight of steps. The relief carving in the pediment was created by Scheemakers. The peristyle columns have been removed and are now located in the school chapel.
