- Note
-
This five-story brick building was constructed as part of a $6 million post-war building program. Named for Luella Clay Carson, Professor of English and Elocution (1888-1909) and Dean of Women (1895-1909), the building was acclaimed as an innovative approach to student housing. Design work began in Feb 1945 and construction ended in Jan 1949. According to the Ellis Lawrence Building Survey, Ellis F. Lawrence approved the preliminary design which was accepted a few days before his death.
