Antebellum College Building Trivia

P3190679My last building trivia question was picked off right away — which I guess isn't surprising since it was the student lounge at the University of Michigan Law School.

I think this is a rather difficult one.  At right is a dormitory built before the Civil War. (I guess that narrows down the number of college campuses).  Where is it?  What building is it?  Mighty impressive for the antebellum era; as I was walking up to it, I figured it was maybe late nineteenth or possibly even early twentieth century.

Am I making this too easy by saying much of the building was built in the 1830s?  The 1830s was really a great time for expansion in higher education, especially in the south.

    Is it Cushing Hall at Hampden-Sydney?
