Description	Construction of the Elliott University Center Terrace seen from Elliott University Center, looking east toward Alumni House with Taylor Garden visible. The Alumni building opened in 1937 and is considered an excellent example of neo-Georgian architecture. It was designed by Penrose V. Stout and modeled after Homewood in Baltimore, Maryland. The building was called the Alumnae House from 1937 to November 1972, when the name was changed to the Alumni House. The Terrace, or “Patio,” opened in 1953, at the same time that the first wing of Elliott Student Union was built. It is located behind Elliott University Center and includes the pavers and kidney shaped fountain. Taylor Garden was named in honor of alumna and Dean of Students, Katherine Taylor. It is located beside the Elliott University Center Terrace and is planted with flowers and evergreens.
