Washington Hall
Note the cluster of trees at the southwest corner of Washington Hall, which include a Blue Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica glauca), Amur Corktree (Phellodendron amurense), and Camellia (Camellia sp.). The Corktree is native to China. Close by is a Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum).
The area to the south of Washington Hall features a number of interesting plantings, including a mature White Mulberry (Morus alba) that survived the Jefferson Hall fire in 1983. The Live Oak (Quercus virginiana) is a handsome, mature specimen.
