A Short Tour of Queen's University

Starting at the iconic Grant Hall, built in 1905, now used for lectures, concerts, exams, and ceremonies, etc

Summerhill is the oldest building at Queen's, dating to 1839. Originally built as a private residence, it was bought by the university in 1853, at which point it could contain the whole university! Since the 1860s it has been the official residence of the Principal.
 
 
 The Theological Hall:
 
Kingston Hall: 
  
 
 On the southern side of the university, a strip of parkland lines the shore of Lake Ontario
  
 
Back on campus, Jackson Hall is where the engineering labs and offices (including mine) are located
 
Some of the university's distinctive brickwork.... Kingston is nicknamed the Limestone City.
