Exterior view of the west elevation of the Wren Building at the College of William and Mary, 1933. Begun in 1695, the construction of the Wren Building marked the birth of an academic center in colonial Virginia. One of the oldest academic structures in the United States, the Wren Building was damaged by several fires in 1705, 1859, and 1862, but still retains a large portion of its original outside walls. The building's features are thought to be based upon an adaptation of a Sir Christopher Wren design.

Wren building (Williamsburg, Va.)
Begun in 1695, the construction of the Wren Building marked the birth of an academic center in colonial Virginia. A series of fires in 1705, 1859, and 1862 damaged parts of the structure but never completely destroyed exterior walls.
During the Civil War, the Wren Building caught fire on September 8, 1862. Although this blaze was extinguished, a group of Union soldiers incensed by a Confederate raid re-ignited the fire on September 9th. The entire interior burned and only a shell of the exterior walls remained. This photo shows the reconstructed version completed after the conclusion of the war.
The Botetourt Statue survived the war despite vandalism and skirmishes taking place around it.

Lantern slide featuring a hand-colored photograph of the front elevation of the Wren Building on the campus of the College of William & Mary. It is the sixth in a set produced by the Pacific Stereopticon Co. of Los Angeles, California, now defunct, to illustrate the story of Goodwin's dream to restore a portion of Williamsburg, Virginia to its 18th-century appearance as a shrine to early American ideals.
The slide consists of a view of the 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 building's features are thought to be based upon an adaptation of a Sir Christopher Wren design.
