EXTRA WORK: CAMPUS DOOR

Gilchrist hall is located right off the Landis fields. It is a three-story construction that has been used as a dormitory. This building got its name after governor Albert W. Gilchrist. It was built in 1926, and the west building was added in 1928. Gilchrist hall, just like most buildings at FSU, is built in Jacobean and Gothic revival styles. Some of the key architectural features that are used in the construction are the Jacobean arch, red brick facades with areas of decorative brick patterning, and crenelations on top of the pitched roof. Other features include sculptural building elements, such as a porch, towers, window bays and entrance. All of these are the features of the Jacobian and Gothic revival styles.
