Clocktower Quad, West Campus, Duke University, Durham, NC

            Planned in the 1920s and built in 1930-1934, this collection of English Gothic Revival, Tudor Revival, and Jacobethan Revival-style rough-hewn stone buildings were designed by Julian Abele of The Office of Horace Trumbauer.  Abele, the first Black graduate of the Architecture Program at the University of Pennsylvania, was one of the Principals of the firm known as The Office of Horace Trumbauer  following Trumbauer's death in 1938, and managed the Duke University project despite the racial discrimination he faced, not only in Durham, but as a professional, and in Pennsylvania.  The West Campus of Duke University was planned in the 1920s and built in the 1930s to as a romanticist interpretation of the historic Medieval campuses of universities in England, and was intended to symbolize the university's status and growth as a major research university.  The buildings line either side of Abele Quad, formerly Davison Quad, and sit at the center of the university's main campus.
