Wise Library on the Downtown WVU Campus Fine Art Print
An art Print of the Wise Library on the Downtown WVU Campus for sale by Brandywine General Store. This library complex was built in 1931 after the college outgrew the library space of Stewart Hall which was finished in 1902. In 1984, the University Library was renamed Charles C. Wise, Jr. Library to honor Charles C. Wise, Jr., a lawyer and former student body president of WVU that had donated 4,260 acres of land to the WVU Foundation. In December 1996, a meeting was held to discuss a multi million dollar renovation and addition to the Charles C. Wise, Jr. Library. Located in the front of the original library, this addition encompassed 124,000 square feet with five new levels added. The Charles C. Wise, Jr. Library and the new addition are connected by an atrium. Picture #458 an original premium quality WVU print made from a photograph in the Brandywine collection.
