It seems like most campuses have a tower


So I'll add the Indian Mounds

Aggie Bonfire Memorial. All blocks are facing the hometown of the 12 fallen

re: What's the most recognizable landmark on your campus? (Posted on 12/19/12 at 7:47 a.m. to UFownstSECsince1950) On UA's campus you'll see a discolored smokestack building, it's actually kind of an eyesore. But the reason it's there is because it is the only building that survives from before the Civil War, during which the Yankees burned down Alabama's campus.

I think the only buildings to survive the fires from the War of Northern Aggression were:

1. Presidents mansion
2. Phi Mu House
3. Jason's Shrine (little octagonal building next to the main library).

I believe that they are the only buildings the University will allow to be painted white. That was what I remember hearing from when I was a student there in the late 80's.
