Description
The Old Clarendon Building, located on Broad Street, was constructed between 1711 and 1713 using Headington free stone, with later patches and restorations in Clipsham stone completed in 1909. The architect Nicholas Hawksmoor received £100 in 1715, likely as a fee for his role as overseer of the project. The building's expenses were covered by the University, funded by the profits from Lord Clarendon's History of the Rebellion. The Old Clarendon Building is part of a group that includes Exeter College, The Old Ashmolean Building, The Sheldonian Theatre, and The Indian Institute on Catte Street.
