It was built originally as the Eastern Oregon State Normal School. The building "is a modern adaptation of Italian Renaissance palatial architecture and includes a formal grand stair with overlook terrace. Originally,... it housed all functions appropriate to a teacher training institution until a separate unit, J. H. Ackerman Laboratory School, was added to the campus in 1935." [1]
