Own a Piece of U.Va. History
The sale of Rouss Hall Benches has closed.
Would you like to own a piece of historic Rouss Hall on Jefferson’s Lawn? The McIntire School is offering benches handcrafted from heart pine wood reclaimed during the 2005-2006 renovation of Rouss Hall, part of McIntire’s “Back to the Lawn” building project.
Art Thorn (McIntire ’74), President of custom furniture manufacturer Thorn & Company Inc., has agreed to build these magnificent benches, made entirely from salvaged pieces of historic timbers from the original 1898 construction of Rouss Hall. Each will carry a commemorative brass plate.
The cost of each bench is $1,000, of which $500 is a tax-deductible gift to the McIntire School Annual Fund. By purchasing a bench, you receive a beautiful piece of U.Va. history and support the McIntire School as it continues to build the world’s best business programs.
