 Founded in 1908 as the State Normal and Industrial School for Women, the college was renamed Mary Washington College in 1938 after Mary Ball Washington, mother of the first president of the United States of America, George Washington. The institution legally became the University of Mary Washington, after approval by the General Assembly of Virginia. Most of the architecture on the Mary Washington campus can be described as neoclassical, Georgian, or Jeffersonian (because of its similarity to Thomas Jefferson's design of the University of Virginia). The Princeton Review has ranked Mary Washington as one of the top 20 most beautiful campuses in the nation.

I liked the columns!

Yep, columns are hard to top. Nice looking front porch they have there. Centered, wide, and up angle is right for the tall effect in this image.

I guess with a building that beautiful, it can have any name it wants, right???? I'm not surprised that it's one of the top 20 most beautiful campuses! You certainly have shown it off well with your photo too! I'm crazy about the big stately columns too!
