Pantheon Mansion

Pantheon Mansion (or also called as Pantheon Main Building) is huge mansion used as a school building, known as Pantheon Academy for the Gifted Youngsters. The Mansion contains of several smaller buildings inside the territory used for different purposes. It is often referred to the whole campus territory.

The Birth of Pantheon Academy
It all started in late 90s, when rumors about the return of the gods spread among society. Although still a few realized what the meaning of return of the gods was. Some assumed the rumor might have another meaning, so it was not exactly the return of the gods. People assumed it might have been some sort of a symbol that kept a hidden meaning, like the prediction of Nostradamus. Soon after, the rumor that spread started to be forgotten by everyone, except by an old, rich historian. A few years passed since the rumor spread, and now, other issues seemed to have appeared following the previous rumor. Although apparently no one realized that the current rumor and the previous one are related to one another. The current rumor spread that some people claimed to have children do superhuman things, from levitating a chair to manipulating the fire. It was then the people started to believe that these children were gifted. But soon as time passed, the stories about them started to fade and no one knew for sure about their where-abouts.It turned out that these children were all sent to an isolated place in Olympic Peninsula, the state of Washington, United States, that old historian had decided to build, realizing how risky it was to expose these gifted children in public. The Historian believed that these children possessing special abilities are not just normal gifted children, but beyond that, they were actually the reincarnation of gods. The school itself was established in 2003, after the Historian tried to save and collect money he had in order to build the school and hire people to take care of them. The Historian himself later became the first and current Headmaster of the academy.

As children attending to the school were assumed to have reincarnation of the Greek Gods, the school - meant to train these children to develop their powers - were named the Olympia Academy, after Mount Olympus, name of residence of the Olympians in Greece. But it turned out that not only from Greek deities, but starting 2004, the Historian began to identify other gods coming from different pantheons attending the schools. It seems not only Greek deities have reicarnated, but the other Pantheons as well. Egyptians, Sumerians, and Indians are a few of other pantheons mentioned.

Seeing these new pantheons coming to school, the Historian felt the need to change the name of the school and later, the school was named Pantheon Academy. Pantheon itself is derived from the word which means 'temple of the gods' and it is also named after a historical building in Rome, which was originally built to worship gods from many cultures.

Pantheon Mansion
The Historian, for having a lot of fortune and saving his money for the school building, purchased a vast territory in Olympic Peninsula, about a few miles from the nearby town Forks, where later he decided to build the school there. It took almost five years to complete the main building, soon called Pantheon Mansion or The Main Building, which was the first building ever built in the entire school area. Ever since the rumor spread, the Historian felt the need to provide a place for these gifted children to learn to develop their powers, away from the public. Pantheon Mansion, often referred to the whole school area, was first designed in 1995.

Originally, there would only be a building designed for all school purposes: classes, libraries, and such. But due to lack of spaces for training classes and halls, the Historian felt the need to expand the area by making another building for classes. The building itself finished a year later after the Pantheon Mansion was done, and it was later called Sphinx Building. Several other buildings followed to be built then: Library, Amphitheatre, Auditorium, Greenhouse, and two Dormitory buildings.

Exterior
The mansion is located on a vast grassy terrain in Olympic Peninsula, known for its national park, near the Hoh Rainforest, surrounded by average humidity, cool weather, wet temperature, and constant rain. The building itself is not quite exposed in the main road, and a small, long, curvy path is later built to gain access to enter the school area. The path leads to Pantheon Mansion, as a large gate awaits at the end of the path, revealing a huge mansion behind it. In front of the mansion lobby is a circle-shaped small garden with a fountain in the middle of it.

Pantheon Mansion extends about approximately twenty meters in width and almost ninety meters in length, covered with red bricks. The lobby itself is designed likely a Greek Temple, colored beige, in contrast to the red bricks surrounding the building. Most of the school activities are held in this building, making Pantheon Mansion is used as the main building among all supporting buildings around Pantheon Mansion area.

Interior
Inside the mansion, the building is dominated with cool, beige colors, with some warm dark red colors and Victorian-Edwardian themed all over the place. Marble floor spread in every part of the buildings, except for some rooms that use carpets instead. The building consists of two storeys.
