English: Built in 1803-1809, this Federal-style building was the fourth structure constructed on the South Carolina College Campus, now the University of South Carolina Campus, and was originally known as the North Building. The building was built by Richard Clarke, likely using slave labor, and like other campus buildings built in the first half of the 19th Century, had an enslaved workforce that maintained the building. The building suffered a fire in 1850, after which the west wing was rebuilt by Killian and Fry, likely using slave labor, and the east wing was rebuilt later in the 1850s. The building served as student housing later in the 19th Century, with a recitation room on the first floor of the central wing. The three-story building features a symmetrical front facade with a taller and wider central wing featuring a side-gable roof with a front gable, flanked by two lower, longer wings with side-gable roofs, nine-over-six, eight-over-eight, nine-over-nine, twelve-over-nine, and twelve-over-twelve double-hung windows, arched windows on the second floor of the front facade of the central wing, gables on the front facade of the wings, a front portico with doric columns and doric pilasters, a domed rooftop cupola, and simple decorative window hoods. The building is a contributing structure in the Old Campus District, University of South Carolina Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
