its south side connected to picnic and seating areas by pedestrian pathways. It is adjacent to Solitude, a Greek-revival home built in the early 1800s, the oldest structure on campus. Gargoyles There are 14 gargoyles which appear on Tech buildings, especially older buildings. They appear on Smyth, Hillcrest, Saunders, and Eggleston Halls. Although some, like those on the Eggleston archway, are functional, the majority are merely ornamental. Among the more distinctive gargoyles on campus are the "cowgoyles" seen on some agricultural buildings. April 16 Memorial The April 16 Memorial is located in the center of the side of the Drillfield in front of Burruss Hall. The memorial consists of 32 Hokie Stones, one for each victim, and a stone in the center to honor all of the fallen and injured victims. On the night of April 16, 2007, students placed pieces of Hokie Stone in a semi-circle at the base of the reviewing stand overlooking the Drillfield, and this then led to the creation of the present-day memorial.
