Cole dabbled in architecture, a not uncommon practice at the time when the profession was not so codified. Cole was an entrant in the design competition held in 1838 to create the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio. His entry won third premium, and many contend that the finished building, a composite of the first-, second- and third-place entries, bears a great similarity to Cole's entry.

Famous quotes containing the words architecture and/or work:

“To work and suffer is to be at home.
All else is scenery ...”
