Main Quad for Arch
Title:
Main Quad for Arch
Description:
This sketch depicting the West Campus quad was created by the Horace Trumbauer firm during campus construction in the 1920s. Trumbauer’s firm included Julian Abele, a Black architect credited with designing many of the buildings that we now recognize as Duke University. Duke’s construction grew under the leadership of William Preston Few, who was President of Trinity College (1910-1924) and the newly named Duke University (1924-1940). Along with English professor and first University Comptroller Frank C. Brown, Few was instrumental in the Georgian architecture on East Campus and the Neo-Gothic architecture on West Campus.
