Rollins College Campus Walking Tour Recap |
|
|
The past Saturday, February 19, 2022, OFA hosted our FIRST walking tour of 2022 at Rollins College in Winter Park. Our tour guide was Bruce Stephenson, Rollins faculty and author of “John Nolen, Landscape Architect and City Planner”. Bruce generously contributed the essay on Rollins College in our Architectural Guide to Central Florida. We saw a number of the historic buildings and learned the story behind the 1927 plan that created the vision we see embodied in the campus today. Repeatedly voted the most beautiful campus in the United States, its loggias and covered walkways link Neo-Renaissance and Mediterranean Revival buildings set on quadrangles and small courtyards to capture breezes. Thank you to Dr. Bruce Stephenson his extensive knowledge and time! Visit our OFApedia page on Rollins College for more reading about the campus plan and architecture. |
