- Brooks Hall is home to the University of Virginia Department of Anthropology. This striking 19th-century Victorian Gothic structure forms a gateway to the University as it is located right between the commercial and social life hub of the campus, called "The Corner," and the historic core of the university, Thomas Jefferson's Rotunda and Academical Village.
