Description
A rendering of what is now Girvetz Hall, before the addition of South Hall to it's western side. The building was also known as South Hall, after North Hall was built in 1962. It was the first permanent home for the Social Science and Foreign Language Departments, and included office space and classrooms.
Norman Marsh (1871-1955), David Smith (1886-1964), and Herbert Powell (1898-1996) designed many commercial and educational buildings throughout Southern California; the firm were also university architects at the University of Southern California. After this rendering of Girvetz Hall was completed, they changed their name to Smith, Powell & Morgridge, and the firm completed the original Girvetz as well as its addition in 1966. The firm changed its name again to Powell, Morgridge, Richards & Coghlan and designed Buchanan Hall (1967), Phelps Hall (1968), Ellison Hall (1969), and South Hall (1971). Each of the later buildings carries some of the stylistic design features of the original campus standards.
