An Architectural Prelude to the Roschel College House:

The Roschel College House reflects Architect Robert Stern’s interest in a New Classicism style of architecture. He created a building here that is deeply rooted in the Classical traditions of F&M campus.
The college’s Hartman Green was once the site of the Franklin and Marshall Academy, a college prep school. This school was housed in the 1908 Academy Building, designed by Newman and Harris of New York. After the Academy closed in 1943 the building was used as a college dormitory and student center. It was razed in 1975. Image source above left: eBay postcard.

“Robert A.M. Stern, certainly a Master Planner and architect/teacher of the 21st century, designs seemingly simple buildings that express affection for the past.”
