Collegiate Federal Revival Style: Johns Hopkins U.

[Cal_Escapee]

These are pictures of the Collegiate Federal Revival style as exemplified by The Johns Hopkins University (Homewood Campus) in Baltimore, MD, USA. This campus stood in for Harvard, which has a much less homogenous architecture, in the filming of the movie "The Social Network".

Here is an aerial shot to give the overview:



This is Homewood House, the prototype for the campus, which was built between 1801 and 1808 in the then current Federal Style (named after the new US federal government).



The rest of the photos are buildings built on the property of the Homewood Estate after the University moved there beginning in 1902. Some are quite modern, others date back over the 110 year period.

Gilman Hall, the first building built by the University on the property, which now functions as an undergraduate library


Keyser Quadrangle (Gilman Hall at the far end)


Remsen and Mergenthaler Halls (Chemistry and Biology classrooms respectively) on Keyser Quadrangle


Maryland Hall, a classroom building for the physical sciences, on Wyman Quadrangle

Latrobe Hall, essentially the twin (across the quadrangle) of Maryland


Wyman Quadrangle--the building at the end, Shriver Hall, is a large auditorium/theater.

The oldest dorm on campus (1930s era I believe)
