The '''Nott Memorial''' is a 16-sided building located on the center of the quad at [[Union College]] in [[Schenectady]], [[New York]]. Its concept and initial design were found as early as 1813, as it was included in Josef Ramee's plans for the campus, the first planned college campus in New York State. Building was started in 1858 and was completed in 1879. It is dedicated to [[Eliphalet Nott]], 62-year president of Union College. The architect was [[Edward Tuckerman Potter]], the architect of other local churches and houses, alumnus of the college, and grandson of Eliphalet Nott.
