Description
Andrew College Architectural Brickwork by Kathy K. McClellan is a collage created for Day 189 of the 365 Challenge (Journal 2022).
This collage is made up of photographs that were taken of the architectural brickwork on the chimneys of the Old Main building at Andrew College in Cuthbert, Georgia (USA). Different patterns, an added medallion and sculpted clay fixtures adorn the chimneys, breaking up the five story tall expanse of brick.
The college was originally called Andrew Female College, was founded in 1854 and is the second oldest charter in the United States giving an educational institution the right to confer degrees upon women.
It is a private liberal arts college that is associated with The United Methodist Church.
The campus has an interesting history. It served as Hood Hospital during the American Civil War. A fire consumed the campus in 1892 and with money raised by the people of Cuthbert rebuilding began the same year with the college reopening in the fall in a building now known as Old Main.
Old Main, a five story Victorian, part of which is shown in this collage, was designed by Atlanta architect William H. Parkins, a significant Georgia architect after the Civil War.
In 1917 Andrew became a Junior College offering Associate Degrees. The college became co-educational in 1956. In 2018 the college began offering two four year degrees and additional baccalaureate degrees are being developed.
