Pilasters are thin columns that appear to be built into the wall of Greek-style homes. These columns can be very plain or extremely ornate. They are different from regular columns only in that they appear to be embedded in the surface of the house's wall rather than standing away from it. In addition, they typically have the look of a 16th or 17th century column, with narrow pillars and ornate tops and bottoms. These columns are produced by machine and then attached to a wall front or facade. They can be found both inside and outside the home. In both cases, pilasters are used for decoration.
