View of Randolph Hall through the fence along College Way. Towell Library on left. Construction of Randolph Hall, the most recognizable building at the College, began in 1828 under the direction of architect William Strickland. Flanking wings and portico for the main building were designed by Edward Brickell White and erected circa 1850. In 1886 the wings were destroyed by the Charleston earthquake and rebuilt between 1888 to 1894 under the direction of Gabriel Manigault.
Postcard with a black-and-white photographic portrait of Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat in Nazi-occupied Hungary who saved thousands of Jews in the Holocaust. In 1945, Wallenberg was detained by Russian soldiers when the Soviet Army entered Budapest. The postcard is pre-addressed to "President of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR" and includes a printed message: "35 years are enough! Tell us the full truth about the fate of Raoul Wallenberg, the fighting Swedish humanitarian. It has not been proved that he is dead. We believe that he is alive. Release him immediately!"
