The original Old Main — Penn State’s first academic and administrative building — was completed in 1863. A fire partially destroyed the roof in 1892, which resulted in remodeling the upper floor and the bell tower. Age and heavy use took their toll, and the building was torn down in 1929. The current Old Main was opened in 1930. Courtesy: Penn State Archives

Old Main in the University’s early history was not called Old Main, but Main Building. It was the entire campus—laboratories, library, student residence, chapel, and faculty offices were all in the Main Building. It was the site of graduation ceremonies until 1903 and was the home field for the football team, which played on Old Main Lawn until 1909. Information courtesy of Alumni Insider
