West Point U.S. Military Academy

The Campus Guide

Rod Miller

Series: Campus Guides

West Point's rolling geography, originally chosen for military reasons, has had a profound effect on the campus plan and architectural design. Founded in 1802 by an act of President Thomas Jefferson, the campus is a showcase of austere Gothic and Romanesque designs by preeminent collegiate architect Ralph Adams Cram, with notable works by Richard Morris Hunt, McKim Mead & White, Paul Cret and Sasaki and Associates.

The Princeton Architectural Press Campus Guide series take readers on an insider's tour of various universities. Beautifully photographed in full color, the guides present architectural walks at America's finest campuses, revealing the stories behind the historic and contemporary buildings, gardens and works of public art.
