Manasseh Cutler Hall, Federal architecture university building in Athens, United States
The three-story brick structure features a gabled roof topped by a wooden tower, cupola, and symmetrical nine-bay facade with Palladian windows.
Constructed in 1816 as College Edifice, the building stands as the oldest academic structure in the Northwest Territory at Ohio University.
The hall bears the name of Manasseh Cutler, a physician and minister who wrote the university charter and influenced early American education.
Located at the center of College Green, the building contains offices for the university president, provost, and senior administrative officers.
The building survived a lightning strike in 1818, with heavy rains preventing a fire that would have destroyed the unfinished structure.
