Description
Constructed in 1793, Liberty Hall was the main building of the Washington and Lee campus (called Liberty Hall Academy at that time). It was during this period that the campus attracted the attention of George Washington, who favored it with a large gift of stock and consented to have the college re-named "Washington College." After Liberty Hall burned in 1803, the campus began to abandon the buildings which clustered around it and to build a new campus closer to the center of town. Now known as Washinton & Lee University.
