In the last few months, I have been very interested of seeing old building around Arizona. For a few days in Tempe and Scottsdale my mom and I went to the ASU campus to look at some of the buildings. My mom and my dad went to ASU in the 1970's so mom was telling me all about these buildings on campus.
Here is the first building that we saw:
This is the Old Main building on ASU campus. This is the oldest building on campus. It was built in 1898, and it was designed by W.A. McGinnis in the Victorian Queen Anne style with Richardsonian Romanesque influences. Old Main defined the first quad on the campus of the Arizona Territorial Normal School, Arizona would not become state for 14 years after the Old Main was dedicated.
Old Main was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, as "Main Building, Tempe Normal School."
