Walker Hall at Amherst College

Walker Hall at Amherst College

Amherst (Mass.)

This is the original building constructed in 1868-1870 through gifts of money by William J. Walker and others. It was built to house the departments of Mathematics, Astronomy, and Natural Philosophy, and included a valuable collection of minerals which was lost when the building was gutted by fire in March of 1882. This image shows a group of students standing on the front steps of the building.
