Nott Memorial Hall of Union College (Schenectady, New York)

Erected in 1858, this structure at the heart of the Union College campus features the High Victorian Gothic designs of architect Edward Tuckerman Potter. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986.

Union College is a private liberal arts college located in Schenectady. Founded in 1795, it was the first institution of higher learning chartered by the New York State Board of Regents, and the second in the state of New York, after Columbia College (formerly King's College).

In the 19th century, it became known as the "Mother of Fraternities," as three of the earliest Greek letter societies were established there. The school was once referred to as one of the "Big Four" alongside Harvard, Yale, and Princeton universities, prior to the Civil War, before a financial scandal led to its fall from grace and the top national rankings.

Union began enrolling women in 1970, after 175 years as an all-male institution. The college offers a liberal arts curriculum across 21 academic departments. It offers a wide array of courses in the humanities, social sciences, arts, sciences, literature, and foreign languages.
