Memories Of Albany Quadrangle

Most Lewis & Clark students in the first four decades of the Palatine Hill era of Lewis & Clark are well acquainted with the Albany Quadrangle. It served as a major hub of campus life in the days before Templeton Center, Aubrey Watzek Library, Evans, Pamplin, and Agnes Flanagan Chapel. Students trekked down the cobblestones to attend classes, study in the library located on either side of the breezeway, attend chapel services, and meet with faculty in offices squeezed into all corners of the building. They even practiced on the college’s first organ in a room beneath the iconic dovecote. In 2002 the quadrangle underwent a major renovation. The main portion of the building under the clock tower was crafted into an oak-floored great hall with a vaulted two-story ceiling. Named Smith Hall, it serves today as an ideal space for dinners, luncheons, seminars, and lectures. The wings of the building that once were a chapel on the north of the quadrangle and library on south have been redesigned into excellent classroom and office space. Under the lead-coated dovecote, space that once was a tool shed, then offices for the Department of Photos top and left Music, is now the Dovecote Café, a popular meeting from L&C Archives. place for students, faculty, and staff during school Photos on right from 1953 Voyageur hours. yearbook.
