Power House Wilberforce, Greene County, OH This structure may be one of the oldest continuously operating power plants in Greene County, Ohio. Constructed in 1926 and placed in service in 1927, it is located on the present-day Central State University campus in Wilberforce, Ohio. (For clarification purposes, Central State was formerly the Combined Normal and Industrial Department (CN &I) at Wilberforce University. In 1947 the CN&I, created by the Ohio General Assembly in 1887, split with the church-related Wilberforce University. The split resulted in the creation of two separate universities, one state and one private.) Central State University is located in a rural setting and the Power House (also known as Power Plant) is buildings and the Tawawa Woods (a designated Ohio Natural Landmark).

The overall exterior design of the building is of an industrial vernacular style (see photograph #1). The architect for the building was Herbert B. Briggs, then chief architect and engineer for the State of Ohio. The brick and concrete masonry building measures 81' x 87° with a large refurbished staircase at the entrance bonding pattern called Flemish common bond (see photograph # 3). At the entrance of the Power Plant is a glass door surrounded by steel sash windows. Much of the front of the building consists of these large windows. The front of the plant is one story with a raised basement, the rear has a raised second floor (see photographs #4; 9), and the structural system is of reinforced concrete. The roof is flat.

Limestone trim minimally attached and outside the boundaries of the nomination is a steel "bag house" which carries smoke discharge from the coal fired boiler and was added in the mid-1970s (see photograph # 7). This structure brine tanks for softening the water supply (see photograph #8). Adjacent to the Power House and not included in the nomination is a modern coal storage building (see photograph #9). The interior (please see attached floor plan) encompasses 10, 260square feet and features eleven rooms that entrance, is a large open space, enhanced by the large windows and high ceilings (see photograph #10). Steel I beams support the roof (see photograph #11). The basement is also equipped with power generating brick and the floors are tile.

Power House Wilberforce, Greene County, OH The Combined Normal & Industrial Department Power House is one of only three historic buildings still extant on the Wilberforce and Central State University campuses, Ohio's only Historically Black College and vernacular architecture designed to furnish light, heat and power to the Department. The Power House is also significant under Criterion A for its association with the Combined Normal and Industrial Department (C N & I), the state supported vocational and educational arm of Wilberforce University that would ultimately become African American students in engineering and the trades. The Power House is the only historic building on the CN & I and Central State campus to survive the devastating F5 tornado that ravaged the campus and Xenia, Ohio, in April 1974.

Some remnants of Beacon Gymnasium (1922) and Galloway Hall (1906) remain, but in a significantly altered state of preservation. The Power House continues to furnish power to the Central State campus. Wilberforce and Central State are unique in that they both survive side-by-side as predominantly black, and CN & I Power House (1926) at Wilberforce, Ohio, are the only known extant pre-1930 academic facilities University, are the only HCBUs in Ohio, the oldest and most prestigious HCBUs in the Midwest and two of only six HCBU's offering degrees north of the Mason-Dixon line. Background History - Combined Normal & Industrial Department (1887-1947) Though no racial stipulations were made at the time, it was generally believed that only blacks would wish to attend an institution closely affiliated with a black university [Wilberforce] and located in what was predominantly a black community.

Creation of the new department marked a rare instance of public support of hundreds of thousands of dollars on the part of the state. Its modern physical plant and the size of its campus, faculty and student body eventually surpassed those of Wilberforce University, its parent institution [Goggin, 15]. The C. N. & I. Department and Wilberforce were separate institutions legally and with separate Boards of Pennsylvania has the largest and most intact collection of pre-1930 academic buildings of all HCBUs in the northern states. Historical Significance In 1887, through appropriations authorized by the Ohio General Assembly, a "Combined Normal and Industrial Department at Wilberforce University"was created to offer two year courses in vocational and teacher training.

Universities[HCBUs].It is significant under Criterion C asit represents an intact example of industrial being extended to a sectarian institution,earning it the nickname"The Tuskegee of the With increased state funding, the state supported C.

In addition to supplying power the building housed classrooms and laboratories for Lewis College of Business in Detroit was founded in 1930.Its only historic building was built in 1910 as a residence for James NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 (Rev. 10-90) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Section number 8 Page 2 C.

During the 1920s several buildings were constructed on the Wilberforce campus, including Stadium Hall (1920), Teachers Education Building - Lee Hall (1925), Business Manager's Residence (1927), Tarawa Hospital (1927) and the Power Plant (1927). Of these, only the Power Plant survives.

During the academic year 1926-1927, Wilberforce had an enrollment of 1414, with "more than 500 aspirants turned away because of lack of accommodation." Education and Industrial Arts at Wilberforce University. By 1951 the re-named Central State College was awarding degrees in the arts and sciences. Enrollment at Central State in 1962 stood at 2,100 students, with a campus encompassing 528 total acres that included a core campus of 57 acres.

It is significant to note that during this time period Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) throughout the country utilized their instructors and students in the construction of their campus buildings; from engineering, and consulting, to time, but also of the craftsmanship of African-American skilled artisans and apprentices in the early twentieth The Combined Normal & Industrial School Power Plant Designed by Herbert Briggs, the state architect and engineer, the Power Plant was constructed in 1926 to generate light, heat and power for the C. N. & I. Department. An inventory of the school ca. 1925 noted the Old Power House was "to be vacated soon and a new power house to be used." The contractor for the building was McCurran & Sons, Xenia [Ohio Capital Inventory]. It is believed the Power Plant was constructed with the assistance, and perhaps supervision of C. N. & I.

faculty and students, although this has not been documented. The Power Plant is located on the Central State University campus in Wilberforce, Ohio. Central State University was formerly the Combined Normal and Industrial Department at Wilberforce University. In 1947 the CN & I Department, which was created by the Ohio General Assembly in 1887, split with the church-related Wilberforce University. The split ultimately resulted in the establishment of two separate universities, one state and one private. After the department split with the university in 1947, the plant continued to supply power to what then became known as Central State College [later University]. The plant is still operational, having converted from coal power to steam.

For nearly twenty years after its construction, the plant also served as classrooms and a laboratory for students in electrical and mechanical engineering, as well as the plumbing and heating trades. The Power Plant's history is associated with major historical developments in African-American higher education. It represents the period of growth and expansion that took place on this and other campuses at the century. turn of the century. In 1941 the state expanded courses at C N& I to four years and the C. N. & I. Dept. became the College of masonry, carpentry, and blacksmithing. Thus, not only is this structure representative of the architecture of the NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 (Rev. 10-90) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Section number 8 Page 3 C.

Campus, the National Afro-American Museum, and Central State University) for $13,000 and the founding of Ohio African University in 1856. By 1860 enrollment stood at 200 students and in 1863 the institution was re- named Wilberforce University. The establishment of Wilberforce University also lead to the later development of Payne Theological Seminary (the theology department) in 1894 and Central State University (the normal and industrial department) in 1947. Several reasons have been suggested for the choice of Tawawa Springs as the site of Wilberforce University.

Foremost, perhaps, is the large number of African-Americans that settled in Greene County as a result of the migration patterns of freed slaves before the Civil War and the Underground Railroad, where a major route 42).

"It is worthy of mention," William Galloway, Xenia physician and Wilberforce board member, wrote in 1931 noting the historical connection between the two, "that the Columbus Pike past Wilberforce was a portion of the 'U.G.R.R.' [Underground Railroad] where the fugitive slave was hurried along at dead of night by brave Galloway continued, "travel this route day and night, happy and unmolested and avail themselves of the best education that church and state can furnish." Also, by 1850 there were numerous prosperous black merchants, artisans, shopkeepers, and farmers in Greene County and, by 1870, the county had more African-Americans in proportion to the total population than any other county in Ohio.

The development and growth of Wilberforce University, again as represented by the Power Plant and other buildings built during that time period (only the Power Plant, Emery Hall, and Carnegie Library remain), had a major impact on the Wilberforce community, as well as Greene County. As the university grew, so did the surrounding community with entire families moving into the area as family members accepted faculty positions other parts of the country, as well as the world, to Wilberforce. Among the more notable: W.E.B. DuBois taught at Wilberforce in the late 1800s; Hallie Q.

Brown, a founder of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs and a noted elocutionist and human rights activist, was associated with the universities as both a student and professor for many years; William Scarborough, a prominent classics scholar, served as president of Wilberforce University from 1908 to 1920; Charles H.

Wesley, a founding scholar in the field of African- American history, served as the first president of Central State University; Charles Young, the third Black to graduate from the United States Military Academy, was a professor of military science at Wilberforce; from Cincinnati to Columbus reportedly passed through Wilberforce along the Columbus Pike (U.S.Highway In 1853,the African Methodist Episcopal(A.M.E.)
