Ohio Guide Collection
Description: The photograph shows a view of Recitation Hall of Wittenberg College. The building is behind several trees, but many parts, particularly the large central steeple, are visible. A caption on the back of the photograph reads: "Clark Co., Springfield, O. April 28, 1937. ADMINISTRATION BLDG., in the center of the Wittenberg College campus. The Administration Building houses the college offices and chapel. A portion of Carnegie Science Hall shows in lower left corner." Recitation Hall, built in 1883, was the second building constructed on campus and held classrooms, college literary societies, and the campus chapel. An annex was added to the building during the 1950's, which is the home of university police and the campus switchboard. In 1978, the function of the building changed and it is now the main administration building, with various offices and admissions. View on Ohio Memory.
