11. Adelbert Hall
Adelbert Hall is the administrative center of Case Western
Reserve University. Listed on the National Register of Historic
Places, it is the original classroom building of Adelbert College.
The building was a gift of Amasa Stone. In its early years,
it also housed the college library as well as the offices of
the college president and treasurer. The large boulders in
from of the building (the front faces west, away from Adelbert
Road) list the class winners of the historic Hudson
Relay, an annual Hudson-to-Cleveland run which has ended
at the building's front steps for 80 years. The Monroe Curtis
cup, given to the relay's winning class, is inscribed, "This
race is not the ordinary run of experience."
Originally built in 1882, Adelbert
Hall was gutted by fire on June 23, 1991. It has been completely
rebuilt on the inside and now again houses the Office of the
President.
