MAXWELL HALL Here on the highest point of the original campus stands the first celestial observatory at the University of Alabama and one of the oldest observatory buildings in the United States. Through the efforts of Professor F A P Barnard, the first section of this building was completed in 1844. Prominently visible today are both the eighteen-foot dome and the north - south ceiling aperture above the west wing. Under the dome, Barnard installed an eight - inch refracting telescope, and for the northwest aperture, he installed a transit circle... a telescope to measure the time of meridian passage and altitude of a celestial body. |

PRESIDENT'S MANSION In 1838 The University of Alabama Board of Trustees appropriated funds for a more suitable residence for the University's new president, Basil Manly. The mansion on this site was built between 1839 and 1841 from plans provided by Michael Barry who served as architect and building superintendent for the project. Although Manly, the mansion's first occupant, was a very popular president, the legislature regarded the structure as unnecessarily lavish. |
| According to tradition, Louisa Frances Garland, wife of President Landon C Garland, valiantly saved the stately residence from destruction when Union Troops under the command of Major General John T Croxton destroyed the campus on April 4, 1865. The mansion, which has undergone a number of restorations, assumed its predominantly white appearance in 1908. |

| The following mineral specimens are found in front of Smith Hall building |
|
|
FOSSIL STUMP Sigillana. Hartselle Formation. Mississippian Period, Colbert County, Alabama. Large fragments of fissile trees are common in the coal regions of Alabama. This specimen and the fossil stump opposite belong to a large and diverse group of coal age plants,,, the scale trees. This group of plants was a major component of coal. |
|
|
GEOTHITE (Limonite) Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. Brown iron ore was an important material of the early Alabama iron history. This geode was a part of a larger twisted mass called a domick. Limonite is a common weathering product of Limestone and is widespread in Alabama. |
|
|
HEMATITE Red Mountain Formation, Mississippian Period, Jefferson County, Alabama. Red iron ore was the basis for the post Civil War iron industry in Birmingham. The iron mixed with sand or lime was deposited by iron fixing bacteria in ancient seas. While not as rich as some brown ore, red ore was favored because of its more predictable quality. |
|
|
RIPPLE MARKS Red Mountain Formation, Sulurian Period. Jefferson County, Alabama. This slab of marine sandstone shows marks made by currents in the shallow sea that once covered Alabama, perhaps between a barrier island and the beach. The worn appearance of this specimen reflects its use as a curb stone on First Avenue in turn-of-the-century Birmingham. |
|
|
FOSSIL TREE Lepidodendron. Hartselle Formation, Mississippian Period. Colbert County, Alabama. This fossil and the specimen opposite stood for many years on the grounds of LaGrange College, Alabama. They were collected by professor John Hardy before the Civil War. The stumps were recovered from the ruins of the college by Professor E A Smith and were placed here upon the completion of Smith Hall in 1909. |
