For sixty years Emery Hall was part of a triad of handsome Colonial Revival style Mitchell Hall (1912) and Bundy Hall (1917), fell victim to the devastating April 1974 tornado that ravaged extant. Symmetrical and formal in its plan, it exhibits many of the distinctive hallmarks of the Colonial Revival style, notably the octagonal cupola, central portico, flanking wings, and ordered window fenestration. Emery Hall is also significant under Criterion A for its long association with Wilberforce University, Ohio's first HCBU that would ultimately be absorbed into Central State University. For most of the 20* century Emery Hall served as a women's dormitory. Wilberforce and Central State are unique in that they both survive side-by-side as predominately black, small- town institutions of higher learning in a northern state.
The Carnegie Library (1907; NR 2004), Emery Hall (1913) and C N & I Power House (1926; NR 2003) at Wilberforce, Ohio, are the only known extant pre-1930 academic facilities constructed expressly for HCBUs in the Midwest.

Widely separated formal buildings facing a broad campus lawn dignity of college life ("Recent American Group Plans," 11; 313). The Colonial and Georgian Revival styles, deemed suitably proper for higher educational needs, gained considerable favor among college administrators and classically trained architects. Interestingly, many of the early examples were built as women's dormitories.
Women students preferred modest single rooms to more costly suites, as they offered more privacy and instilled a greater sense of democracy (Horowitz, 247; 314-315). Lindley Hall at Ohio University (1915, NR 1979), and Stone (1905) Beaver and Sawyer Halls at Denison University (1925) are all women's dorms designed in the Georgian and Colonial Revival styles. This first group of period revival architecture employed on campus dormitories was followed by 1930s PWA programs that resulted in another episode of Colonial and Georgian women's dormitory, and Swing Hall at Miami University (1936), built to house male students. Frank Packard2 Nationally recognized Columbus architect Frank L. Packard designed over 340 public and private buildings throughout Ohio, the United States, and abroad during his 37 years of architectural practice.
His prolific career courthouses, jails, and institutions to Georgian Revival schools, hotels, and libraries, and rambling Arts and Crafts inspired country estates. Packard's education, training, career, and social status parallel that of many architects practicing at the turn of political connections. Such "gentleman architects" typically were educated with a Beaux-Arts approach either by attending France's Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris or, as in Packard's case, an American university with a New York, Boston, or Philadelphia were typical preludes to beginning one's own practice.

Packard was well connected in Republican circles. Frank L. Packard was born in Delaware, Ohio, on June 11, 1866. He studied architecture and engineering at The Ohio State University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graduating from the latter in 1887. He interned in the offices of the New York architectural firm of Babb, Cook, & Willard. He came to Columbus, Ohio in March 1883, and secured his first major commission three years later by winning the competition for the Girl's State Industrial Home in Delaware, Ohio.
In 1892 he went into partnership with Joseph Warren Yost. During the seven years of the Yost & Packard firm's existence, it gained the reputation of having the most extensive practice in the state of Ohio for public buildings. Packard's early twentieth century work reveals his Beaux-Arts training with more formal designs displaying Georgian Revival and Second Renaissance Revival stylistic tendencies.

Wells Hall Wilberforce University Mitchell Hall (demolished) Background History - Wilberforce University In 1853,the African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church and the Cincinnati Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church joined forces to establish an institution devoted to the education of African American youth.
This effort culminated in the purchase of Tawawa Springs (current site of the Old Wilberforce University Campus and the National Afro-American Museum.) 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.

10-90) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Section number & Page 4 Emery Hall, Old Wilberforce University Campus Wilberforce, Greene County, Ohio 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 from Cincinnati to Columbus reportedly passed through Wilberforce along the Columbus Pike (U.S. Highway 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 In 1887, through appropriations authorized by the Ohio General Assembly, a "Combined Normal and Industrial Wilberforce's normal school trained African American teachers while the industrial department offered facilities to teach carpentry and building trades to young men and sewing and domestic skills to young women (McCormick, p.
146). 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 a predominately black community. Creation of the new department marked the rare instance of public support being extended to a sectarian institution, earning the nickname "The Tuskegee of the North." (Goggins, 5-7) It should be noted that both Ohio University and The Ohio State University had no restrictive clauses pertaining to race. Ohio University, founded in 1804, enrolled its first African American student in 1824; Ohio State University, established in 1870, had eleven African American students enrolled in 1891. Oberlin College began admitting black students in 1835 and Antioch College's 1853 founding charter placed no racial restrictions on The C. N.& I.
Department and Wilberforce were separate institutions legally and with separate Boards of Trustees but they both shared the same President. With increased state funding, the state supported C.N.& I. Dept. grew yearly until it represented an investment 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). Department at Wilberforce University " was created to offer two year courses in vocational and teacher training. admissions. and faithful friends and swift horses in constant fear of capture and return to slavery."

During the academic year 1926-1927, Wilberforce had an enrollment of 1414, with "more than 500 aspirants turned away because of lack of accommodation." (Wilberforce University Bulletin 1926 - 1927, 19) Construction of Emery Hall was made possible with large donations from Andrew Carnegie, the American nearly $50,000 including furnishings and fixtures. Mr. Andrew Carnegie gave $17,500, and Miss Emery, through the efforts of Miss Hallie Q. Brown, gave $15,000 and other generous friends contributed the remainder (Wilberforce University President's Annual Report 1914, 4).
Female students crowded into a wing of Shorter Frank L. Packard of Columbus was selected architect and George Abernathy general contractor (Minutes of Trustees Board, June 19, 1912; June 18, 1914). Upon its completion Emery Hall invoked, for both the university and the community at-large, a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Wilberforce University president, splendid dormitory for girls." He continued, "It is the equal to any of the kind in the State, and possibly has no superior outside of it." (Wilberforce University President's Annual Report 1914, 8) According to the university bulletins at the time it was completed, Emery Hall was described as "an attractive building in the colonial style of architecture, supplied with all the modern conveniences, heated by hot water and lighted by electricity and gas." (Wilberforce University Bulletin 1914-1915, 7) The overall shape of the plan and arrangement of interior space includes dormitory rooms for eighty students with common areas such as lounges and a dining room. Emery Hall is also associated with the fundraising efforts of Hallie Q. Brown. Dr.
Brown, a founder of the National Association of Colored Women, was an accomplished and acclaimed teacher, author, lecturer, elocutionist, and political activist. Her active and passionate involvement in human rights placed her in the forefront of movements for African-American civil rights and women's suffrage from the late 1800s until her death in 1949. It is chiefly through her fundraising that Wilberforce University was able to build Emery Hall. Emery Hall's history is associated with other major historical developments in African-American higher Wilberforce University experienced significant growth during the 1910s and1920s.New construction included Hall would now have "a building by themselves,"housing eighty student residents (48"h Annual Report, 1911).

(Wilberforce Bulletin Concerning the Work of the Vocational Division, 11) In a report submitted to the Ohio Secretary of State in 1916, it was noted: Probably the most significant educational fact in this department's development (C.N.&I.) is that have been made with student labor under direction of the instructor of the department, or industry involved (Report of Wilberforce University, p. 435). Thus, not only is this structure representative of the architecture of the time, but also of the craftsmanship of Education and Industrial Arts at Wilberforce University. The two institutions split in 1947 and by 1951 the re- named Central State University was awarding degrees in the arts and sciences.
The development and growth of Wilberforce University, again asrepresented by the Emery Hall and other buildings built during this time period, have had a major impact on the Wilberforce community, as well as statewide. As the university grew, so did the surrounding community of Wilberforce with entire families moving into the area as family members accepted faculty positions or attended classes. The vibrant community that developed provided the setting for a myriad of cultural and intellectual events and activities. The Penn Central Railroad brought many a student, teacher, and visitor from 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; composer William Grant Still studied music at Wilberforce, and opera singer Leontyne Price studied at Central State. Thus, Wilberforce has become Historical Context turn of the 2oth century.
Additionally, during this time period HBCUs throughout the country utilized their instruction in the trades.The students were used for practically all of the building construction work done on African-American skilled artisans and apprenticesin the early 2o" century. masonry, carpentry, and blacksmithing.

The establishment of the National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center in Wilberforce in 1988 recognized this fact. The history of Wilberforce University (and later Central State University) tells the history of higher education for Blacks in the state. It is within the walls of this structure (and others unfortunately demolished or destroyed by the 1974 tornado) that thousands of African-Americans received an education and many of the contributions of African-Americans to the advancement of education, medicine, law, technology, and the arts in Ohio have their roots at the Tawawa Springs in Wilberforce, Ohio.
