Cutler Hall

Cutler Hall is a stone library building at Colorado College featuring Victorian Gothic architecture from the 1800s. The structure displays symmetrical wings, tall pointed windows, and a prominent central bell tower that rises above the surrounding campus.

The building was completed in 1880 as the first structure on the Colorado College campus. It originally housed classrooms, an auditorium, and scientific laboratories, establishing the foundation for the institution's academic mission.

The building honors William Cutler, an early supporter of the college. Students use the lawn in front of the tower as a gathering place during campus events and celebrations.

The building now houses administrative offices and is accessible during regular college hours. Accessible entrances and elevators have been installed to accommodate all visitors.

A physicist named Florian Cajori conducted early x-ray experiments within this building while teaching mathematics and physics at the college. His work represents some of the region's first scientific explorations of radiation.
