The Center for the Americas
This newly renovated house is home to the Latin American Studies and American Studies Departments, the first time these two disciplines have been housed under one roof. This was the original President's Home and was erected in 1837. Funded in part by royalties from President Fisk's book Travels in Europe, construction costs came to $7,000.

Fisk Hall
This building was completed in 1904 and is the University's single most important classroom building. It houses the Language Laboratory and the Office of International Studies. Study Abroad is a popular option among Wes students. Approximately 45% of students will spend at least a semester abroad in one of the 150 programs the OIS has to offer before they graduate!

The President's House
This Italianate residence was built in 1834 and used to be the home of the widow of Samuel Dickinson Hubbard, who was Postmaster General in 1852-53. It became the President's House starting in 1904 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
