Pencil drawing of the Illinois University Gate

University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign campus)

This is a pencil drawing of the Illinois University Gate, which is now a monument on the campus. This monument was built by using the savaged original University Hall entrance pot. The portal entrance apparently was kept behind the Architecture Building for a number of years and then seemingly disappeared from the campus until it was found at Robert Allerton Park in Monticello in 1994. Alan and Phyllis Welsh Hallene, U of I supporters and alumni, donated the funds to construct the gateway plaza, which was dedicated in 1998.
