The Elmira College Old Campus is the historic part of Elmira College in Elmira, New York. Historically known as The Elmira Collegiate Seminary or The Elmira Female College, the college was the first in the United States to offer to women a degree program on a par with programs offered to men. The contributing structures are significant as good examples of the architecture of the period in which they were built. The contributing buildings are Cowles Hall, Hamilton House, Mark Twain's Study, Gillett Hall, Carnegie Science Hall, Fassett Commons, Tompkins Hall, and Hamilton Hall.[2]
