The first building at the College of William and Mary, this is the oldest college building in the United States. According to an 18th-century author, it was "first modeled by Sir Christopher Wren, adapted to the Nature of the Country by the Gentlemen there." Having survived two wars and three fires, the Wren Building continues to be used by the faculty and students of the College. It was restored in 1931 through the generosity of John D. Rockefeller Jr.
