The San Francisco Guide says:
Around a large oval planted to lawn and shrubs, dividing Palm Drive into
two roadways, the route curves to the junction with Serra Street, 0.9 m., at the foot of Palm Drive, beyond which extends the Outer Quadrangle …
Heart of the campus is the group of buildings known as the OUTER QUADRANGLE (length 894 feet, width 760 feet). At the northern end of the enclosure, formed by fourteen buildings housing lecture halls and administrative offices with open arcades on the outside, stand the ADMINISTRATION BUILDING (L) and JORDAN HALL (R).
Today these building look as they probably have since the founding of Stanford University. The yellow sandstone walls and red tile roofs form a classic university architecture.
It takes about 20 minutes to walk around all four sides of this quadrangle. Each Corner is unique and is named.
