Keble College

Parks Road, Oxford, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 1865 272727
 

Founded in 1868, Keble was the first Oxford college to be built of brick rather than stone; the first to be built by public subscription rather than by a wealthy benefactor; and the first to be built with corridors instead of rooms leading off staircases. Keble's red, yellow and blue brickwork provokes a variety of reactions, and certainly makes this college stand out from the others. Inside, the chapel walls are decorated with Venetian mosaics, and to assure their authenticity, craftsmen and an oven were imported from Venice so that the work could be carried out on site.
