66OLD WEST? NAMED AN HISTORIC SITE The historic vine-covered uOld WestH was desig- nated a national historic landmark by Secretary of the Interior, Steward L. Udall. llOld West, main building of the Dickinson campus, was built in 1804. It was designed by Benjamin Latrobe, the most famous architect of his day, who was the de- signer 0f the Capitol at Washington. Years later he wrote that only three buildings he had constructed in his life gave him satisfaction, and he named llOld Westl, among the three. In a striking example of educational philanthropy worthy of emulation by all generations, Latrobe gave the plans of the stately structure without cost as his contri- bution to the new-found college of the early American frontier.
