A Centennial Commemoration of the 1895 Rotunda Fire; The Keepsake of an Exhibit on View in the Tracy W. McGregor Room, Alderman Library, University of Virginia October 6, 1995 to January 6, 1996.Wilson, Richard Guy (Essay By); Gaynor, Edward; Stephenson, Christie (Curators)Published by University of Virginia Library, Department of Special Collections, Charlottesville, Virginia, 1995 The fire of October 27, 1895, was a disaster: only the scorched brick shell of the Rotunda remained standing; Robert Mills' Annex, the University's main classroom building, was a smoldering ruin; and two-thirds of the University Library's collection was destroyed. But thanks to an outpouring of support from friends and alumni, the University did more than simply reconstruct the Rotunda. In the wake of the destruction, emerged a rebuilt Rotunda, designed by Stanford White; three new buildings at the south end of the Lawn; a revitalized University Library; and a University with a growing national reputation. _gsrx_vers_1634 (GS 9.6 (1634))
