Description
The
Heating
Plant
was
constructed
in
1916-1917
. The
smokestack
was
originally
146
feet
high
. This
great
height
was
necessary
to
create
the
tremendous
draft
required
to
pull
air
through
the
original
three
boilers
,
which
had
no
blowers
.
Stylistically
, the
building
is
influenced
by the
Prairie
School
of
architecture
.
Notable
features
include
the
extensive
use
of
ribbon
windows
punctuated
by
brick
pilasters
, the
low
pitched
roof
, and the
use
of
stone
trim
work
in
geometric
designs
. The
building’s
industrial
style
metal
windows
remain
in
place
. This
building
provided
heat
to
Penn
Hall
,
Lewis
Hall
and
Spencer
Chapel
.
