porticoed
Having covered columns
Porticoed describes a building or entrance that has a portico—a covered porch or walkway supported by columns, typically at the main entrance.
The word evokes classical architecture: a porticoed mansion, the porticoed façade of the courthouse.
Grand public buildings and antebellum Southern homes are often porticoed.
