A photograph looking up College hill at the west facade of Thompson Hall , WSU building #1 . 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 .
