Ventress Hall at the University of Mississippi.
Approaching Ventress Hall, give the grand old lady, a National Historic Landmark in her own right, a tip of the hat. Ventress Hall was constructed in 1889 at a cost of $35,000. It served first as the University library before housing the School of Law from 1911 to 1929. Photograph from the University of Mississippi Library collection.
