Francis Quadrangle, Historic district at University of Missouri, Columbia, US.
Francis Quadrangle contains seventeen buildings and six ionic columns arranged around a central lawn at the University of Missouri campus.
After the 1892 fire destroyed Academic Hall, Governor David R. Francis secured funding to rebuild the university, preserving its location in Columbia.
The six columns from Academic Hall remain as central elements where students gather for graduation ceremonies and university traditions.
The quadrangle serves as the main academic center of the university, housing administrative offices and multiple academic departments.
Thomas Jefferson's original tombstone stands on the eastern side of the quadrangle, gifted by his descendants to recognize Missouri's connection to Virginia.
