Clowes Memorial Hall
| Description: |
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. To the right of the building, several cars are parked in a parking lot, while a portion of Lilly Hall is visible on the left. |
