Summary
Old Main, at the University of Colorado at Boulder, is a four- story ornate brick building with a stone foundation. It has arched windows and mansard roof towers. The largest, projecting from the body of the structure, houses the entry. Trees are in the lawn around it, and in the foreground, men work atop a two-story building under construction. A wooden crane rises from an area filled with stone and stonecutters, fields surround, and the Flatirons are in the background.
