"The Stephens College South Campus Historic District is located at 1200 East
Broadway, in Columbia, Boone County, Missouri. The district occupies a full city
block, at the southwest corner of the intersection of East Broadway and College
Avenue. The site covers roughly 7 acres of land, with mature trees and an open,
park-like setting. There are five large buildings and one structure within the
district boundaries. One of the buildings, Senior Hall, has already been listed
in the National Register, and is not included in the resource count. The other
four buildings are all contributing resources. The structure, which is
non-contributing, is part of a late 1970s pedestrian walkway that crosses
College Avenue. Construction dates for the four contributing buildings in the
district range from 1917 to 1941. All five of the buildings in the district are
large red brick buildings that have similar architectural detailing and massing.
Senior Hall, which is the oldest building in the district, is located in the
center of the south campus lot. The most visible building from Broadway is
Hickman Hall, a Jacobethan Revival style building which was constructed on the
north edge of the campus in 1922. A pair of dormitories built in 1918 and 1920,
Wood and Columbia Halls, are located between Senior Hall and Hickman Hall, on
the east and west edges of campus. Both of those are Georgian Revival buildings
that received Jacobethan Revival style additions in the 1930s and 1940s. The
fifth building, which is also the smallest, is the President's House. The
President's House is a Georgian Revival dwelling that was built on the south
edge of the campus in 1926. None of the resources in the district have seen any
significant alterations in the last 50 years, and the campus in general exhibits
a very high level of integrity of location, design, materials," ~ National
