Description
View of East elevation of the Wren Building, College of William & Mary, taken by F.S. Lincoln in 1935. One of the oldest academic structures in the United States, the Wren Building retains a large portion of its original outside walls, despite being damaged by several fires in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The statue of Lord Botetourt stands in the foreground. It serves as a focal point on the path leading towards the building whose features are thought to be based upon an adaptation of a Sir Christopher Wren design. Due to preservation concerns, the statue has since been moved to an indoor location.
