Washington university. which are to
be used for exposition purposes at the
St, Louis Worlds fair in 1904, com
prise-110 acres of land and ten build
ings.
All these buildings are in the Tudor
Gothic style of architecture as eXem-
plifed in the college buildings of
England of the time of Henry VIII.
and Queen Elizabeth. All are built
of Missouri granite, with quoins or
corners and ornamental courses of
cut stone. The granite is laid in what
the architect calls broken range rub
ble;" the masonry is of hammer-faced
granite with two level beds and four
irregular faces. This makes the
courses of the granite level but breaks
the blocks into irregular shapes.
The principal building is University
hall. Its plan resembles the capital
letter H" 1t stands facing squarely
to the east so that Lindell boulevard
runs directly up to the main entrance
in its center. This center entrance
is the most noteworthy architectural
effect of the building. 1t consists of
massive tower II feet high, topped
by four octagon towers. one at each
corner. The tower itself, as well as
the octagon. corners are battienent-
