Title
Carpenter Hall , ca. 1916
Date
1916~
Description
A view of the south-west facade of Carpenter Hall , WSU building #20 . Carpenter Hall was one of seven buildings designed by the first University architect and first chair of the Architecture Department , Rudolph Weaver . As a cost-saving measure , it was planned as a twin to Wilson Hall , but because of wartime building restrictions , neither was completed until 1926 . First known as Mechanic Arts building , it was named in 1949 after H . V . Carpenter , the first dean of the College of Mechanic Arts and Engineering . A grand entry at second floor level as at Wilson Hall was planned but never executed . Presumably , the steep slope to the west and its orientation way from the rest of the campus made it impractical . The structure contains Georgian and Classic Revival styles . This image predates the construction of Spokane St .
