1893–1894. West on 8th Ave., south to S. 18th St., south on S. 18th St. to East Lane, north on East Lane to campus

Here we have the Collegiate Romanesque in brick with stone trim. The main building, which was built as a student dormitory, is three and a half stories high; over this tall mass of masonry is a high central tower with a segmented spired roof. Close by the main building is another dormitory building, Cotta House (now an apartment building). The designer of this 1922–1923 building looked to the seventeenth-century Queen Anne period in England for a source.
