Vawter Hall and Old President's House

Vawter Hall and Old President's House

Vawter Hall and the Old President's House are the two of the oldest buildings at Virginia State University, the oldest state-supported college for blacks in the United States. Vawter Hall was built and named in 1908 in honor of the school’s late rector and authority on industrial training, Charles E. Vawter. The School was originally chartered as the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute in 1882, created through an agreement with the Readjuster party to found a state-supported school of higher learning for blacks.
