Old Main, WCSU (1905)

In 1903, Danbury native Alexander White donated three acres of land for the newly established Danbury Normal School (now Western Connecticut State University). The following year construction on the building on campus known as Old Main began (it was completed in 1905). Designed by the Boston architectural firm of Hartwell, Richardson & Driver, it is the oldest building on the university’s midtown campus and houses numerous administrative offices, such as the Registrar, Cashier and Admissions.
