Austin College was founded in 1849 in Huntsville by Presbyterian minister Daniel Baker and relocated to Sherman in 1876. Following a fire that burned the college’s “Old Main” administration building to the ground, it was replaced with this buff brick building. The three-story, classical structure features full-height engaged Ionic columns on the building’s east facade and originally housed the library, classrooms, and an auditorium-chapel, which accounts for the stained glass windows on the second floor.
