Architecture students from The Ohio State University tour Clowes Memorial Hall

Description:	A group of architecture students from The Ohio State University sit or stand in Clowes Memorial Hall during a tour. Tiers of box seat are above them on the right. Designed by architects John M. Johansen and Evans Woollen III, the approximately 83,444 square-foot building officially opened on October 18, 1963. At the time of construction, the building was unique since it was designed to host a variety of events including orchestra concerts, ballets, operas, lectures, and University events. Constructed in honor of the late Dr. George Henry Alexander Clowes, the majority of the financing for the approximately $3,600,000 building was made possible by his widow, Edith Whitehill Hinkel Clowes, through the Clowes Foundation, but other funds were provided by Lilly Endowment, Inc. and Butler University, among other sources.
