Wesleyan Hall, Gothic Revival university building in Florence, Alabama.
The stone structure features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and an observatory tower that rises above the University of North Alabama campus.
Both Union General William Sherman and Confederate General John Bell Hood utilized Wesleyan Hall as a base of operations during the Civil War.
The building represents the evolution of higher education in Alabama, starting as LaGrange College before becoming Florence Wesleyan University.
Wesleyan Hall currently houses the departments of Geography, Psychology, and Foreign Languages, with research facilities spread across multiple floors.
The Wesleyan Bell, stored for nearly 100 years, now stands in the Smith Bell Tower adjacent to the hall since 2004.
