College Hill Buildings

 I walked around the Brown University campus last Saturday.  


This complicated building is near the bottom of College Hill.  It is part of the Rhode Island School of Design or "RISD," pronounced RIZ-dee.




As I walked around, I frequently thought either "Man, I don't remember this building" from my long distant days on College Hill or "Wow, this one has been wonderfully restored, hasn't it"


This Richardsonian Romanesque building was two or three blocks east of the campus when I was there.  But, the campus has moved east as it has grown, and this one is now the headquarters of the Division of Applied Mathematics, Brownspeak for "studying computers."

Fine looking buildings on this campus. I like seeing your first one, and the Richardsonian Romanesque at the end.
