A person reads a paper while sitting at a desk in a Jordan Hall classroom

Description:	A professor reads papers while sitting at a desk at the front of a Jordan Hall classroom. Other papers and his hat and coat are located on the desk. Chalkboards hang on two of the walls and a trash can is in the corner of the room, near the door, while student desks fill the rest of the space. The photograph and the accompanying description were created for Butler Universitys 1985 Historic Preservation Certificate application for Jordan Hall. In order to finance the mid-1980s renovations of the building, Jordan Hall was sold to investors who provided some of the funds needed for the remodel. Butler University leased the building back from the investors until they were able to repurchase it, per the stipulations of the agreement. The investors received tax incentives for updating the historical building, which were not available to the nonprofit University, thus saving money on the overall cost of the project.
