From the National Register Nomination:
Klinefelter Hall was built in 1931-32 as a U-shaped, approximately 65' x 140', flat-roofed dormitory having three stories and a raised basement. Faced with brick veneer (over structural steel), the former dormitory has contrasting stone trim which provides Tudor Revival elements. These include quoins for window surrounds and other trim, watertable and course, and a fine molded double door entrance having six small rosettes and a drip mold.
First occupiedthe spring quarter of 1932, the building was originally known as South Hall, reflecting its location on the south end of the campus. In 1953 it was renamed Klinefelter Hall in recognition of the more than 40 years of administrative service to the school by Maude Klinefelter. Because it was difficult to alter small dormitory rooms to meet modern classroom requirements, the hall stood vacant for several years. However, in 1996-97 Klinefelter Hall was renovated to meet current educational needs, including handicapped-accessible large classrooms, an art gallery, faculty offices, and an auditorium.Photographed by Cosmos Mariner, August 23, 20232.
