Lewisohn Hall
Lewisohn Hall is named after Adolph Lewisohn, who helped fund the building's construction. The building currently houses both the School of General Studies and the School of Continuing Education. GS moved into the building in 1963. The building previously housed the School of Mines. The building was not originally named after Lewisohn since he was Jewish. Lewisohn was allowed to pick his own architect though and to propose an original design. He picked Arnold Brunner, who did a marvelous job replicating the McKim, Mead, and White-style pavilions to the last detail.
The Language Resource Center West and the Learning Center can also be found here.
Until recently, there was a bust of Adolph Lewisohn on the third floor. Rubbing its bald head was said to bring students good luck. Unfortunately, as of early 2007, the bust has gone missing.
