Every building has a beginning. 🏗️

This photograph captures Holt Hall in its earliest days in 1956, when the campus was growing to support a larger student population. Construction like this marked a new chapter in the Central Methodist University's development.

Now an established residence hall, Holt has seen decades of student life pass through its doors. What memories does Holt Hall hold for you?
