Clowes Memorial Hall watercolor note card
| Description: |
This note card was given to Butler University employees in honor of their employment anniversaries. The front of the note card features a watercolor painting of Clowes Memorial Hall by R. Carol Skinner. The exterior of the building is decorated with banners and flags and the lights are on inside the building. Designed by architects John M. Johansen and Evans Woollen III, the approximately 83,444 square-foot Clowes Memorial Hall is constructed of reinforced concrete and limestone. Built at a cost of approximately $3,600,000, the building officially opened on October 18, 1963. Constructed in honor of the late Dr. George Henry Alexander Clowes, the majority of the financing was made possible by his widow, Edith Clowes through the Clowes Foundation, but other funds were provided by Lilly Endowment, Inc. and Butler University, among other sources. Inside the note card, the message is superimposed on a Butler University seal. |
