Easy One BAMA! This and a guard shack across the street next to the Library are the only two buildings left on Campus that were not burned by the Union Army on the way to Vicksburg.

The Bama president lives in the mansion these days. There was a stretch from the 70s to 90s when only visiting dignitaries stayed there.

I’ll take Auburn in this one.

Also, Vanderbilt has one. The goofy arse president who was pushed out at Ohio State over the Jim Tressel fiasco got some bad publicity when he spent a bunch of money fixing it up while he was the prez at Vandy. IIRC

Knoxville is a great town in a cool area, but the University of Tennessee campus in general is just not a very pretty campus. And that goes for the president's mansion as well.

I hate to do this, but I'm going to have to go with Alabama on this one.

I'm assuming you pulled one for the President of the University of Arkansas system.

The University of Arkansas has a chancellor and they have a nice residence on campus.

Here's the University of Arkansas Chancellor's House on campus. The smaller building is the conservatory. It has nice gardens and outdoor event space.

I can't find it. All I found was "Dean of Commons" house.

Auburn's could have been taken at a better time of year.

Mississippi State's looks like my 80 year old grandma just learned how to take a picture with her phone while riding to bingo some random snowy Tuesday afternoon.

Five, four, and a door seems to be the standard presidential house.

After a quick search, any other time of the year results in the entire front portion of the house being blocked by those trees...

So their Prez is homeless? Sounds about right for Tennessee.
