The campus of University of Washington, Seattle provides a great way to relive the medieval architecture up close.

Gerberding Hall was completed in 1922 and originally served as the university’s library. It was named after Eugene W. Gerberding, who was the university’s president from 1897 to 1902. The building was designed by architects Bebb and Gould in a Collegiate Gothic architectural style.

It features pointed arches, ornamental stonework, and a prominent clock tower. The clock tower, known as Gerberding Tower, has become a recognizable symbol of the university.

In 2002, Gerberding Hall underwent significant renovations to modernize its facilities and improve its functionality.
