Vintage Charlottesville
Monroe at The University of Virginia
{snip}
Cabell Hall, first known simply as the “Academical Building” and today known as “Old Cabell Hall”, would be situated facing the Rotunda across the long expanse of the Lawn. The building was dedicated in June of 1898.
On June 10, 1907, a statue of Homer and his student, would be unveiled in the open space in front of Cabell Hall. The statue, which sits in the same location 108 years later, was a gift of J.W. Simpson, a wealthy investor who had first attempted to give the sculpture to his alma mater, Amherst College in Massachusetts. For uncertain reasons they passed and it found a home at the University of Virginia.
