1882-1883Description
Tjaden Hall from southwest before renovation; By 1871 Cornell had established one of the United States' early architecture schools, and many campus buildings built in the last quarter of the Nineteenth century were designed by the architecture school's professors and students. Hence, Cornell's first architecture professor, Charles Babcock, received many important commissions. Franklin (1882; now Tjaden) and Lincoln (1888) Halls reflect Babcock's interpretation of the Romanesque Revival style. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 4/21/2011)
