Eastern Illinois University's

Old Main was the first building of EIU's campus, and is formally named the Livingston C. Lord Administration Building in honor of EIU's first president. Built of Indiana limestone in a heavy Gothic revival style with turrets, towers, and battlements, its distinctive outline is the official symbol of the school. Old Main is one of "Altgeld's Castles", five buildings built in the 1890s at the major Illinois state colleges.
