Wikipedia "Bresee Hall is ... a rectangular, three story brick building with a symmetrical thirteen bay facade. The east facade features a projecting, pedimented three bay pavilion. The formal entrance is located at the center of the pavilion and consists of a portico composed of flanking pilasters and columns with composite capitals, a broad entablature and a segmental pediment. The building is topped by a hipped roof with a two-stage octagonal wooden cupola topped by a weather vane. The building has Colonial Revival style detailing."

(visit link) "Built in 1928, Bresee Hall was the first building on campus. It was designed by the firm of John Russell Pope, architects of the Jefferson Memorial and the National Gallery of Arts, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Originally called "Science Hall," it was an "all purpose" facility, housing classrooms, science labs, a gymnasium, the library, offices, and an apartment for the College's campus "keeper" and his family. The building was renamed in 1954 for founder and Trustee Frank Harmon Bresee, who was an avid supporter of the College."
