Architecture
Composed of one central building, which, along with the original gym, was completed in 1919 at a total cost of $285,000, the building features brick walls, a slate roof and other stone features. The building was planned to be opened at an earlier date but it was postponed because of World War I. The building was designed by the noted architectural firm of Tracy and Swartwout, who also designed the Missouri State Capitol building.
