A corner of White Hall is present at the left of the image; the unfinished clock tower of Bryan Hall is just visible. Defoliated trees line the walk to Thompson. Thompson Hall, formerly the Administration building, is the oldest extant building on campus, designed by noted Seattle architect, James Stephen and his Chicago trained partner, Timotheus Josenhans. It is prominently sited and immediately identifiable by its two large towers, one truncated and one with conical roof. The romantic Victorian Romanesque character of the building is further enhanced by rich variety of windows and entryways and the use of rock-faced granite (quarried near Spokane) for its contrasting trim. It formally opened January 1, 1895 at a cost of $50,000.plain2018-06-22T16:52:55+00:00Is found in PC 5, WSU Scrapbooks http://libraries.wsu.edu/masc/finders/pc5.htm at Washington State University Libraries' Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC) http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascpc005b2fergusonscrapbook_88-108; pc149b4n88-108ImageCampus buildings; Trees--Washington (State)--Pullman; Cornices--Washington (State)--Pullman; Clock towers -- Trees--Washington (State)--Pullman; Thompson Hall1936ark:/80444/xv73822Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, Washington State University Libraries: http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascUnited States--Washington (State)--Whitman County--PullmanNo known copyright.
