Lindsey Wilson College - Campus

Campus

Among the first buildings on campus were the current L.R. McDonald Administration Building (funded in part by Catherine Wilson) and Phillips Hall (funded by Mrs. James Phillips and Mrs. Kizzie Russell).

The John B. Begley Chapel was designed by E. Fay Jones, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. The two vertical cylindrical parts were inspired by rural farm storage silos. Gothic, Romanesque and Byzantine designs are found throughout the Begley Chapel. The chapel was named in honor of the college's chancellor who served as the college's sixth president, from 1977 to 1997.
