Construction and Evolution of Union Theological Seminary Campus

Foundation

Construction began in September 1908 and continued until 1910, when classes in the buildings began on September 28, 1910. Many of these photographs show the native stone that was used from the site to construct the campus buildings.

Grant's Tomb, with the columns and pointed roof, can be seen in the background left of the image.
