College Hall, University of Pennsylvania Coasters
$17.00
Sturdy 4″ square set of 5 rubber-backed coasters
Description
College Hall was the first building on the West Philadelphia campus of this Ivy League school. Designed by Thomas Webb Richards and built in 1871, it is a wonderful combination of both Second Empire and Gothic styles. The building’s striking architectural polychromy is created by the use of several stones in both structure and veneer, including brown and yellow sandstone, mica schist, serpentine, and granite. It is one of the foremost buildings in the history of collegiate architecture and is on the National Registry of Historic Places.
The original oil on canvas is scanned by the Athenæum of Philadelphia using a sophisticated high-resolution digital scanner with a raking light to capture surface details. These sturdy rubber-backed coasters measure 4″ square and ship as a set of five.
