This Romanesque structure was designed by architect Archimedes Russell to house the Von Ranke Library in 1889. Among the 69 contributors
to the $35,000 construction costs were John D. Archbold and then-Chancellor Charles N. Sims. In 1907, when Carnegie Library was
built as the University's main library, its purpose changed.
Today, the William Pearson Tolley Hall, named after the man who served as Chancellor from 1942 to 1969, is
under construction and will soon become the center for the Humanities. |
