Title

Construction of Letter P

Description

The Letter P was on the back campus on the north side of the college and begun in 1919 by the classes of 1922 and 1923. The students wanted to provide an insignia, begin a freshman tradition and establish an area of campus for school celebrations. Each year the sophomore class would pass the care of the P to the freshman class in a fall ceremony with speeches and music. Each class filled in the outline of the P with a stone that was engraved with their class year. The inside of the P was set for a bond fire. The P served as the symbol for Oskaloosa on air maps.

Title

Heating Plant

Description

The Heating Plant was constructed in 1916-1917. The smokestack was originally 146 feet high. This great height was necessary to create the tremendous draft required to pull air through the original three boilers, which had no blowers. Stylistically, the building is influenced by the Prairie School of architecture. Notable features include the extensive use of ribbon windows punctuated by brick pilasters, the low pitched roof, and the use of stone trim work in geometric designs. The building’s industrial style metal windows remain in place. This building provided heat to Penn Hall, Lewis Hall and Spencer Chapel.

Title

Lewis Hall

Description

Lewis Hall was constructed in 1916-1917. Stylistically, the building is influenced by the Prairie School of architecture. Notable features include the strong horizontal feeling of the building; the stone trim work emphasizing it and the low pitched roof. The interior of the building features several rooms with oak wainscoting and plaster cornices with plant material motifs and etched glass panes on the doorways. Employing a “remarkably modern” concept plan, the architect developed the idea of individual “cottages,” connected only on the lower two floors. The living areas have a central lounge or parlor equipped with a working fireplace surrounded by bedrooms. The four cottages were named in honor of four famous women, each of whom represented a different era of Quaker history: Margaret Fell, Elizabeth Fry, Mary Dyer, and Sybil Jones.
