Old Main, University building at Arizona State University, United States
The Victorian-style Old Main features red brick exteriors, decorative trim, and a bell tower rising above the Arizona State University campus in Tempe.
Constructed in 1888 as the first building of the Territorial Normal School, Old Main initially contained classrooms, administrative offices, and student living quarters.
Old Main hosts university ceremonies, academic gatherings, and public events that connect current students with more than a century of educational traditions.
The building maintains administrative offices and meeting spaces, with regular tours available for visitors interested in exploring its architectural features.
Multiple restoration projects have preserved the original Romanesque revival elements while adapting interior spaces to meet contemporary educational requirements.
