W for Wren Building

The Wren building is part of the College of William and Mary, and is the oldest academic building still in use. It was constructed in August 8, 1695 and was finished around 1700. Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, John Tyler, and John Marshall studied in the this building. George Washington was a chancellor of the college at one point, too. It has also been through three fires, like other buildings in Williamsburg. The Wren building ended up being the first major building restored in the 1920s.
