The Nott Memorial is a unique 16-sided stone-masonry building that serves as the architectural and physical centerpiece of Union College in Schenectady, New York. Its distinctive and colorful Victorian architecture makes it a National Historic Landmark. The building's design and central location can be traced back to Josef Ramee's 1813 conception of the school grounds, which were the first planned college campus in the United States.
