| Description | Manasseh Cutler Hall is the oldest building erected for higher education west of the Alleghenies and north of the Ohio River. In August 1818, the east end of the building was struck by lightning, and it was saved from burning to the ground only by torrential rains. Damage from the fire delayed the opening until September 1819. It served as a dormitory, classroom building, laboratory, library, and museum over the years. Abandoned in 1936, OU President Baker renovated and restored it to its original appearance in 1947. In 1966, it was designated a National Historic Landmark. Currently it houses the OU president's office. Cutler is named in honor of Manasseh Cutler, cofounder of OU. |
