In 1784, the Virginia General Assembly commissioned a statue of George Washington "to be of the finest marble and the best workmanship." The Governer of Virginia, believing this necessitated a European Craftsman, assigned the responsibility of selecting an artist Thomas Jefferson and Bejerman Franklin who were in Europe at the time. The two recommended Jean-Anotine Houdon, who was one of the most famous sculptors during that time. Houdon later traveled to Mount Vernon to begin the sculpture, spending two weeks observing and sketching Washington to create the life-cast. The process began in the servant’s hall, where General Washington lay on a wooden table, hair pulled back and covered with a towel, in order to create a mould of his bust. A large sheet protected his clothes as oil was applied to his face to prevent the plaster of the mask from adhering to his skin, and two quills were placed inside the General’s nostrils to allow him to breathe. Once the mould hardened, it was coated with oil and filled with wet plaster which would later become an exact three-dimensional replica of the General. Houdon presented the first draft of the bust, sculpted in terra cotta, before returning to France to perfect it and it was kept in the General’s study. In his Paris studio, Houdon carved the final statue from Carrara marble, depicting a standing life-sized Washington with a cane in his right hand and a cape in his left.  The piece that is currently on display inside Washington hall is one of four 19th-century historic duplicates owned by Washington and Lee. Between 1860 and 1905, the renowned French art foundry F. Barbidienne cast the bronze-coated bust, which was later imported and sold through Tiffany & Co. in New York. The piece was later gifted to the school by J. Ackerman Coles in memory of his father,  featuring a custom inscription reading “Cast for the Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia.” It measures around 14.25 inches in height.

Built in 1824, Washington Hall is the oldest surviving structure at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, VA. Initially known as “the Center Building,” this Greek-revival style building was built by John Jordan to anchor the school’s historic Colonnade, serving as the architectural blueprint for the campus's iconic red brick and white-columned aesthetic. Over the decades, it evolved into the university's central administrative heart. Its most defining feature arrived between 1842 and 1844 when a prominent rooftop cupola was added. On top of this dome, local craftsman Matthew Kahle installed an eight-foot wooden statue of George Washington, affectionately known as "Old George," which became an enduring symbol of the institution. The building famously survived the American Civil War due to a legendary intervention during the June 1864 raid by Union General David Hunter. While the neighboring Virginia Military Institute was burned to the ground, Washington College professor John Lyle Campbell supposedly pointed out the statue of "Old George" to Union Captain Henry DuPont. Recognizing the monument to the nation's first president, DuPont reportedly ordered his men to spare the building from destruction, though the interior was still subjected to severe looting and vandalism by Union forces. This dramatic survival allowed the structure to remain fully intact to welcome former General Robert E. Lee when he assumed the college presidency a year later in 1865. In the modern era, Washington Hall has been carefully preserved to balance its deep historical roots with contemporary administrative utility. A massive interior restoration by Glavé & Holmes Architecture modernized its executive offices and introduced energy-efficient systems like chilled beams to protect its structural integrity. Today, while a bronze replica of "Old George" braves the elements on the cupola outside, the original 1844 wooden masterpiece rests safely indoors. It anchors the Washington Hall Galleries, which feature museum exhibitions detailing the complex, centuries-old history of the university. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Page: https://3d.wlu.edu/v21/pages/WashingtonHall/WashingtonHall.html Location of Annotation: -11.162, -7.576, 1.399 Camera Location: -12.313, -6.019, 0.717 Camera Looks Towards: -12.034, -6.521, 0.652 Annotation block name: George Washington as Colonel in the Virginia Regiment - Charles Wilson Peale, 1772 Annotation Details:
Painted in 1772 by Charles Wilson Peale, George Washington as a Colonel in the Virginia Regiment is the earliest authenticated portrait and only authenticated pre-Revolutionary portrait of George Washington. The painting, capturing the president in the blue and red uniform he wore during the French and Indian War, was commissioned by Martha Washington and painted about 12 years after his military service during the longest uninterrupted period the Washington’s spent living peacefully at Mount Vernon. The painting is regularly displayed on campus and occasionally tours for historical anniversaries. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Page: https://3d.wlu.edu/v21/pages/WashingtonHall/WashingtonHall.html Location of Annotation: -14.488, -8.703, -0.827 Camera Location: -15.736, -6.849, -0.106 Camera Looks Towards: -15.283, -7.614, -0.228 Annotation block name: Washington and Lee University Mace - Marion Junkin and carved by Mary Barclay 1951 Annotation Details:
The Washington and Lee University Mace is a ceremonial staff that symbolizes the traditions of the university. It was designed in 1951 by Marion Junkin, a member of the Class of 1927 and head of the Department of Fine Arts, and carved by Mary Barclay from a 150-year-old walnut beam from Lexington's old firehouse. The mace features the university's coat of arms, painted in silver, blue, red, and gold, along with the university motto. Topped with the coronet and raven from the university crest, it is carried during commencement and other official ceremonies to signify that the university is formally in session. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Page: https://3d.wlu.edu/v21/pages/WashingtonHall/WashingtonHall.html Location of Annotation: -14.094, -9.408, 1.357 Camera Location: -15.696, -6.914, 0.453 Camera Looks Towards: -15.243, -7.679, 0.330 Annotation block name: George Washington (Lansdowne portrait) - Gilbert Stuart, 1796 Annotation Details:
The Lansdowne portrait by Gilbert Stuart is an eight-foot-tall state portrait depicting George Washington as a civilian leader rather than a military commander to symbolize republican authority over monarchy. It was commissioned by Senator William Bingham as a gift for British Prime Minister Lord Lansdowne, making the masterpiece full of political allegory, including a rainbow signaling peace after the Revolutionary War, legislative documents representing the foundation of the American government, and table legs carved as Roman fasces to reinforce republican values. The original historic painting is permanently housed in the America's Presidents exhibition at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Page: https://3d.wlu.edu/v21/pages/WashingtonHall/WashingtonHall.html Location of Annotation: -16.209, -7.943, -0.262 Camera Location: -14.634, -6.841, 0.435 Camera Looks Towards: -15.036, -7.116, 0.338 Annotation block name: The Apotheosis of George Washington - Jay Hambrige, 1902 Annotation Details:
The Apotheosis of George Washington, created by Jay Hambidge, is a large mural that is meant to show George Washington's ascension to the heavens using symbolism. Inspired by earlier depictions of Washington's apotheosis, the painting portrays him as an idealized national hero surrounded by allegorical figures representing virtues and the young American republic. Hambidge, who later became well known for his work on dynamic symmetry, combined classical artistic traditions with patriotic themes to celebrate Washington's legacy.  \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Page: https://3d.wlu.edu/v21/pages/WashingtonHall/WashingtonHall.html Location of Annotation: General George Washington - Charles Willson Peale, 1780 Camera Location: -18.061, -3.149, 1.200 Camera Looks Towards: -16.922, -4.847, 0.879 Annotation block name: -17.112, -4.521, 0.798 Annotation Details:
Charles Willson Peale’s 1780 portrait General George Washington is an iconic piece commemorating the American victories at Trenton and Princeton. The painting depicts the Commander-in-Chief leaning next to a cannon with captured Hessian flags at his feet. This specific version shows a distinct historical transition, famously featuring a painted-over blue sash to reflect Washington’s updated June 1780 military dress code regulations. Today, this painting remains a foundational piece of American iconography, symbolizing the poised and triumphant leadership of the nation’s future first president. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Page: https://3d.wlu.edu/v21/pages/WashingtonHall/WashingtonHall.html Location of Annotation: -14.188, -0.404, -0.263 Camera Location: -12.937, 0.443, 0.325 Camera Looks Towards: -12.993, 0.407, 0.319 Annotation block name: George Washington Reverse oil painting on glass - Gilbert Stuart Annotation Details:
The reverse oil paintings of George Washington on glass are Chinese export artworks produced in Guangzhou around 1800, rather than pieces painted directly by Gilbert Stuart. The process began when an American sea captain, John E. Sword, purchased an original Stuart portrait and brought it to China, where he had artists meticulously copy the image onto the back of glass sheets in reverse layer order. When Sword brought these luminous, highly detailed replicas back to Philadelphia to capitalize on the public's mourning after Washington’s 1799 death, Stuart successfully sued him for copyright infringement in one of the earliest intellectual property cases in American history. The surviving fragile glass portraits are highly prized museum artifacts that represent a unique historical intersection of early American politics, global trade, and copyright law. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Page: https://3d.wlu.edu/v21/pages/WashingtonHall/WashingtonHall.html Location of Annotation: -9.016, 2.332, -0.403 Camera Location: -7.602, 0.150, 0.430 Camera Looks Towards: -7.621, 0.180, 0.425 Annotation block name: Washington Crossing the Delaware - Edward Everard Arnold Annotation Details:
Edward Everard Arnold’s 1857 painting, Washington Crossing the Delaware, is a rare, historically significant maritime reinterpretation of Emanuel Leutze's iconic 1851 composition. Arnold, a German-born artist based in Louisiana, who specialized in intricate ship portraits, applied his maritime expertise to the chaotic waters of the river, showing Washington and a crew of twelve men standing in a fragile rowboat. This painting of Southern maritime-influenced history is preserved on public view in Washington Hall at Washington and Lee University. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Page: https://3d.wlu.edu/v21/pages/WashingtonHall/WashingtonHall.html Location of Annotation: -9.864, 0.538, -0.609 Camera Location: -7.708, 0.089, 0.429 Camera Looks Towards: -7.716, 0.091, 0.429 Annotation block name: Old George Annotation Details:
"Old George" is a historic wooden statue of George Washington carved in 1844 by Matthew Kahle, a cabinetmaker from Lexington, Virginia. It was sculpted from a log pulled from the James River, and depicts the nation's first president uniquely outfitted in a Roman toga to symbolize Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, the legendary Roman general who famously relinquished absolute power to return to his farm. For generations, the statue stood proudly atop the colonnade of Washington Hall at Washington and Lee University. Due to weathering over more than a century of exposure, the original 1844 masterpiece was safely put indoors in the university's museums to preserve it, while a durable bronze replica stands on the rooftop colonnade in its place. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Page: https://3d.wlu.edu/v21/pages/WashingtonHall/WashingtonHall.html Location of Annotation: Camera Location: Camera Looks Towards: Annotation block name: Annotation Details:
