Washington University Hilltop Campus Historic District
Washington University Hilltop Campus Historic District, Historic university district in Missouri, United States.
The Washington University Hilltop Campus Historic District contains fifty structures, including twenty buildings constructed in the Collegiate Gothic architectural style.
The district served as a central location for both the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the 1904 Summer Olympics, marking its significance in American history.
The campus buildings follow strict architectural guidelines, incorporating red granite, limestone surrounds, and green slate shingles to maintain visual cohesion across structures.
Visitors can explore multiple quadrangles connecting academic buildings, including Brookings Hall, Busch Hall, and the Ridgley Library, which remain active educational spaces.
The district's architectural unity stems from James P. Jamieson's style guide, which specified construction details across fifty years of campus development.
