The image is a vintage postcard featuring the historic central campus of Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. The prominent buildings are part of the "Colonnade" and Washington Hall, known for their Greek Revival architecture.

The central building with the cupola is likely Washington Hall, built between 1822-1824 and designed by John Jordan.
The campus historic district is recognized as a U.S. National Historic Landmark.
The architectural style of the buildings is characterized by a "symmetrical line of columns," which gives the impression of a single, harmonious design concept.
Washington and Lee University is one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in the United States, founded in 1749.
