Hedrick. The rectangular building has an intersecting gable roof covered in slate. Its facades follow a three-part, Palladian-type arrangement. The north side has projecting end gables, while the main south front has a projecting entrance block with a column-supported portico. Details are restrained, including voussoirs, keystones and cornice dentils. The hall borders the entry to the campus and forms the west side of the dormitory quadrangle. It was listed as a good southwestern example of Georgian Revival architecture in a planned academic setting, and it belongs to a group of Georgian Revival buildings at the university. Interior remodeling by Collins and Dryden took place in 1963, and the building remains in good condition and still serves as a dormitory, its original use.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Wyatt C.
