St. Louis college campus named one of the most beautiful in U.S.: Condé Nast Traveler

ST. LOUIS — One St. Louis university campus was noted as one of the country’s most beautiful and was compared to having the charm of a small European town, according to Condé Nast Traveler.

Washington University was named among 54 other colleges across the United States for its architecture and beauty.

“Walking through Washington University in St. Louis’ main campus, otherwise known as Danforth, is like a stroll through a small European town,” the article said.

The campus buildings, such as the Green Hall, are spotlighted for their Gothic-inspired structures, many of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Washington University’s new campus, Danforth, was highlighted as the architecture firm behind the 200 acres of educational space was the same group that designed Atlanta’s Piedmont Park.
