Description: Indiana First Lady Joanne (Josie) Wallace Orr (left), Allen Whitehill Clowes, and Dr. George Henry Alexander Clowes Jr. (right) sit at a table during the Clowes Memorial Hall 25th Anniversary Gala champagne dinner. Held in the Krannert Room in Clowes Memorial Hall, the formal dinner followed a performance by Rudolf Nureyev & Friends, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the building. A rose filled centerpiece adorns the table, since the rose is the official emblem of Clowes Memorial Hall and in the background, other people sit at additional tables. Designed by architects John M. Johansen and Evans Woollen III, construction of the approximately 83,444 square-foot structure began on August 15, 1960, and the building officially opened on October 18, 1963. Built at a cost of approximately $3,600,000, the building was constructed in honor of Dr. George Henry Alexander Clowes, the father of Allen Clowes and Dr. George H. A. Clowes Jr. The majority of the financing was made possible by their mother Edith Clowes through the Clowes Foundation, and other funds were provided by Lilly Endowment, Inc. and Butler University, among other sources.
