Along Falls, it looks like they're building pillars of some sort. I would think it was some sort of entrance monument or sign, but the weird thing is that each pillar seems to be made out of different stone, brick, etc. It's not attractive right now and I'm curious about it. Anyone have some info? Thanks!

I was wondering the same. Assumed it was some over the top sign for the school.

If so, I'm thinking it will look weird. Each pillar is a different style of masonry. If it were in front of a mason's office, I would think it samples of each type of stone or brick they offer.

They are probably building several "samples" that they will later vote on. Not sure what it will be though.
