| "Old Main" Knox College |
| Old Main’s construction in 1857 reflected the prosperity that the new railroad began bringing to
Galesburg three years earlier. It is the sole remaining original site of the great Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858. The
debate was staged against the east wall of Old Main, and two large bronze plaques with the likenesses of Abraham Lincoln
and Stephen Douglas grace that wall. Registered as a National Landmark, the building itself is a significant example of
American Gothic Revival architecture. |
