Old Main, Augustana College
- Historic college building
- Regional draw
- Rock Island
Old Main is a defining building of Augustana College in Rock Island.
Its prominent architecture anchors the hillside campus and connects the institution’s Swedish-American heritage with its continuing academic life.
Plan an exterior stop as part of an authorized campus visit, or arrange a college tour. The building houses working academic departments, so classrooms and offices are not ordinary museum galleries. The photograph shows the exterior. Follow campus parking guidance, keep entrances clear and ask before entering or photographing occupied interior spaces.
