About the model
A little side project that turned out to be more than a side project. :) I always wanted to do a university and Jubilee Hall was kind of the way I imagined an American university should look like. I included a few vanilla trees and some bushes here and there, so I suggest replacing them with Prop it up! Although this has quite a bit of tris, texturesize is quite limited. The university is 6x6 by itself, but it sits on a 10x10 plot. I would suggest filling in the rest of the property with some props. I would add some more props, but I would run into the proplimit quite fast. That's why I left it open for you to decorate.

If you want this building added to your RICO buildings, add it in the settings menu, under education buidings. I recommend using the realistic population mod, this will calculate the amount of occupants in the building.


About the building
Jubilee Hall is the oldest academic building on the campus of Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. Completed in 1876, it was the university's first permanent building, and is a good local example of Gothic Revival architecture. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974, in recognition of the university's place as one of the first historically black colleges and universities to be established after the American Civil War. It presently serves as an undergraduate residence hall.

Jubilee Hall is located on the northern side of the Fisk University Campus, on a loop drive at the northern end of 17th Avenue North at Meharry Boulevard. It is a large L-shaped masonry building, six stories in height, with a hip roof encrusted with gabled dormers and projections. Its main facade is divided into a central section and slightly projecting end sections, with a tower rising at the junction of the center and right sections. The tower rises to an open octagonal belfry and steeple, all adorned with Gothic spires. WIndows are generally set in segmented-arch openings, either singly or pairwise, with arched stone lintels. The main roof cornice has decorative brick corbelling.

Fisk University was founded in 1865 through the efforts of the antislavery American Missionary Association, and was named for Clinton B. Fiske. The school was qualitatively different from other schools, in that it was designed from the outset to provide a full liberal arts education to its African-American students. In 1871, the financially trouble school raised funds to build Jubilee Hall by sending the Fisk Jubilee Singers in their first European singing tour in 1873. Jubilee Hall was built in 1873-76 with proceeds from the tour. It was designed by New York architect Stephen D. Hatch.

Although its exterior is little changed, the interior has been completely modernized to provide dormitory facilities. It also houses a floor-to-ceiling portrait of the original Jubilee Singers that was given to the university by Queen Victoria during the 1873 tour.
