EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Old Kenyon, the oldest building on the picturesque campus of Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. Founded by Bishop Philander Chase in 1824, this historic institution is home to Old Kenyon, a masterpiece of Collegiate Gothic architecture. Designed by Reverend Norman Nash and Bishop Chase between 1827 and 1836, Old Kenyon is considered the earliest example of this architectural style in the United States. The enchanting structure, depicted in this 19th-century engraving by Traversier, boasts a pyramidal roof, spires, and lancet windows, all characteristic of the Collegiate Gothic style. The building's facade features a grand staircase and intricate details, reflecting the academic and cultural values of the time. Old Kenyon has stood the test of time, serving as a symbol of education and knowledge for generations. This image, taken from the first edition of Jean B.G. Roux de Rochelle's "Etats-Unis d'Amerique," published in Barcelona in 1850, captures the essence of this remarkable building and its historic campus. The scene portrayed in the image is reminiscent of a bygone era, with children in traditional clothing playing near the steps, a mother watching over them, and a woman teaching in a classroom within Old Kenyon's walls. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of Kenyon College and the United States as a whole.
