Nassau Hall, built in 1756, was the university's first permanent building at its current location. It served for a time as the seat of government of the United States and remains the university's administrative headquarters today. The surrounding part of the old campus grew in the 18th and 19th centuries with additional buildings in the colonial and neo-Gothic styles. It is compactly laid out, clearly structured, and forms the historic center of the university. Central academic and administrative activities still take place here today.
