VCU Randolph Minor Hall, 301 College St, Richmond, VA 23298, US

The Egyptian Building in Richmond, Virginia, completed in 1845, is a historic college building that was the first permanent home of the Medical Department of Hampden-Sydney College, later known as the Medical College of Virginia and now part of Virginia Commonwealth University. Renowned for its Egyptian Revival-style architecture, it is considered one of the finest surviving buildings of its kind in the nation. Designed by noted Philadelphia architect Thomas Somerville Stewart, the Egyptian Building features distinctive elements such as battered walls reminiscent of ancient Egyptian temples, intricate palm frond capitals on monumental columns, and obelisks connected by a cast-iron fence. Restored in 1939 and designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1971, the building continues to be a cherished symbol of tradition and heritage for the MCV Campus at VCU.Generated from the website
