The Kentucky College for Women was noted for its aesthetically pleasing qualities. The beauty of its buildings and landscapes was said, by some, to rival that of Centre College. We wanted to offer visitors to our site a way to put themselves in the shoes of the people who visited KCW pre-merge. Referencing photographic evidence of the Lexington Avenue campus, we used the 3-D modeling software Sketchup in order to bring out the true color and beauty of the KCW campus. Unfortunately, we were only able to uncover photographs of Morgan Hall, the gymnasium and the Music and Arts building. We know the location and shape of the buildings on the campus for which we have no photographic evidence, so for these structures we have created a basic outline and placed them in our recreation.

Here are the recreations of Morgan Hall, the gymnasium and the Music and Arts building.

"After the fire which occurred at the old Caldwell Institute to which my mother went, the institution was moved across the street to the present site of the high school. There was a very dignified old building, really beautiful old building, with fine woodwork and lovely old stairways, high ceilings, and with a cupola on top."
