The school was first conceived in 1906 by Reverend Robert Carter Jett and opened its doors to students in September 1916. Dr. Jett conceived the first buildings on the VES campus while riding a train in Raleigh, North Carolina. There, he drew his architectural view of the campus on the back of an envelope. Main Hall (today's Jett Hall), which opened in September 1916, is based on these drawings. In 1919 Langhorne Memorial Chapel, which was made possible by a gift from Chiswell Dabney Langhorne in memory of his wife Nancy Witcher Keene (parents of Lady Astor), was consecrated. This was followed by the opening in 1920 of Barksdale Gymnasium, which is rumored to be based on the measurements of King Solomon's temple in Jerusalem.〔 and (''Accompanying photo'' )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Virginia Episcopal School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
