"Old Main" was built between 1854 and 1856, and is a three-story, T-shaped building with three-story lateral wings. It features a four-story, square entrance tower with five-story octagonal turrets. The chapel was enlarged in 1874. Goethean Hall and Diagnothian Hall flank "Old Main" and were completed in 1857. They are 2+1⁄2 stories tall, with steeply pitched gable roofs and stepped gables.
