It was built in two phases in 1913 and 1916. Memorial Hall is a three-story, five-bay, masonry building with Neo-Classical details. The front façade features a three-bay projecting full-height portico supported by four colossal Corinthian order columns. In 1916, the General Service Building was added and consists of three distinct parts: a central projecting block and two dormitory wings.
