Old Queens, at the top of College Avenue, is the founding building of Rutgers and one of the few colonial-era university buildings still in use in the United States. Built between 1809 and 1825 in a restrained Federal style out of brownstone, it stands at the head of the original Queens Campus with the Voorhees Mall stretching away behind it.
The building houses the offices of the university president and provost — not generally open to visitors — but the exterior and the surrounding lawn are a fine spot to wander. The William the Silent statue, an 1928 copy of an original in The Hague gifted by the Dutch government in recognition of New Brunswick's Dutch roots, stands in front.
