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.

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.
