History
The construction of Randolph Hall, previously named the Main Building began in 1828 by designer Charles Fraser. In 1972, the building was renamed Harrison Randolph Hall in honor of Harrison Randolph who served as President and Chair of the Math Department for over 50 years. Randolph Hall has undergone three phases of construction between 1828 and 1976. Early American architect William Strickland designed the main portion of the building. Designed by Col. E. B. White, the portico and wings were added in 1850. Randolph Hall has withstood mortar shells, an earthquake, and countless graduation ceremonies.
