Historic Longstreet Theatre


This familiar campus landmark, built along the lines of a Roman temple, was designed originally as a chapel and auditorium before the Civil War. During the building's colorful history it has served as a Civil War military hospital, state legislature meeting site, arsenal and armory, science facility, and gymnasium. In 1976 the building was remodeled to an arena theatre.

The theatre is connected to the present Wardlaw School of Education.The well-known sculpture in front of Drayton Hall, The Torchbearer, was contributed to the University by the artist, Anna Hyatt Huntington.
