Nassau Hall is building on the Princeton University Campus built in 1756 and was the largest building in colonial New Jersey.  This building has been involved in the American Revolutionary war and actually was possessed by both the British and American forces.  The Nassau Hall building is now Princeton University’s Administrative offices and the building has also been recognized as a National historic Landmark.

The Baltimore Basilica

Latrobe built the Baltimore Basilica between 1806 to 1863 but was renovated in 2006.  The Baltimore Basilica was the first ever Roman Catholic Cathedral built in the United States and was also one of the first religious buildings in the nation.  This building hosted many of the 19th century meetings that shaped the catholic church in America.

St. John’s Episcopal Church

Latrobe built the St. John’s Episcopal Church in 1816.  This church is very important because it is also located in Washington D.C. and every single sitting president has visited the church at least once and is a very historical building.  This church has been made a National Historical landmark in 1960 and is where many of our past presidents have gone to church service on inauguration day.

Benjamin Henry Latrobe was a British- American neoclassical architect that built many important buildings when America was being founded.  Latrobe was the second architect on the build of the United States Capital building and had to work with William Thornton’s plans to finish the Capital building.  The Capital building in Washington D.C. is one of the most important buildings in American history and Latrobe was the man that finished the job in 1800.

Couch Center Dorms

The Couch Center dorms were one of the worst living experiences that I have ever had to endure.  The rooms were dirty and too small for the amount of things that needed to fit in the room for 2 people.  People would continue to get sick from living in the dirt and mold that was already in the rooms.  Couch Center was not an ideal living situation for my first year of college, but it helped me meet some of my friends and start my college experience.

The Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium

The Gaylord Stadium is a very important building to me because it is the home of the Oklahoma Sooners (the best college football team ever).  This stadium is very special because we have had incredible past seasons here with baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray.   Every game that I have gone to has been fun and exciting getting to watch my college football team compete and win.  Whenever I walk into the stadium, I get happy and excited to know that I get the opportunity to watch the Oklahoma Sooners play.

Will Rogers Arena

Will Rogers Arena is located in Fort Worth and is where the Fort Worth Texas Stock Show Rodeo is held every year.  This is an important building to me because I have been going to the rodeo since I was a little kid and have always loved going.  We would always go as a family and have a good time walking around, going on rides, and eventually going to watch the rodeo.  Eating the carnival food and drink is always fun and makes the arena a more social and fun place to go and visit.

Water Gardens

The Fort Worth Water Gardens are an amazing place to go and look at all the beautiful scenery and flowers that are planted throughout the facility.  I visited this place from high school field trips and photography classes and walked through everything, looking for cool pictures and seeing the paths through the facility.  The Water Gardens are fun to walk through and see all of the plants, flowers, and water attractions that they have.
