Lee Hall (top image) and Swalm (bottom image) are both examples of Neoclassicism. Neoclassicism is influenced by city building, and these buildings mimic that in the way that their positioning is affected by the rest of the college surrounding it. Both buildings bookend the Drill Field, making them seem as though they are the most important buildings in the area. Their ornamentation is a bit simple for neoclassicism, but their use of pillars and stairs is very imitative of the style. Another unique distinction is the red brick which is uncommon as most neoclassical buildings tend to have a clean, white stone as the main building material.
