XXXV.

I've mentioned in my earliest posts how much I love traveling into Lynchburg. The architecture is beautiful, even at college such as Randolph College. During Easter weekend, my dad and I did an architectural photo study there. Here are the best shots:






I discovered that the architect for their main building is William Poindexter, and that the woman's college opened their doors in 1897. One thing is for sure, most alumni have a difficult time supporting the college after the its poor decision to sell works from their permanent collection and become co-ed.

I.


I'm a Math-Physics major turned Art History major at Sweet Briar College in Virginia. I'm obsessed with beautiful objects, structures, and concepts. My goals for this blog are to provide structure to my cluttered mind, empty my Bookmarks, and to provide whoever a window into things I love.

First, Sweet Briar architecture. For the pristine pink bubble, we have Ralph Adams Cram to thank. While tooling about for info on Cram, I came across a Princeton student's complete biography on the man. Incredible stuff. I love how the two most beautiful campuses in the U.S. are a product of Cram's work.
