"Old Main," Goethean Hall, and Diagnothian Hall, also known as the Original Buildings of Franklin & Marshall College, are three historic academic buildings located on the campus of Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. "Old Main" was built between 1854 and 1856, and is a three-story, "T"-shaped, building with three-story lateral wings. It features a four-story, square entrance tower with five-story octagonal turrets. The chapel was enlarged in 1874. Goethean Hall and Diagnothian Hall flank "Old Main" and were completed in 1857. They are 2 1/2-stories tall, with steeply pitched gable roofs and stepped gables. The buildings all reflect the Gothic Revival architectural style.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
