The Marie Heineke Memorial Gymnasium was built in 1938-40 by Blinn College and the Work Projects Administration northwest of the main building.
NRHP Nomination Form
"Random-laid fieldstone covers the lofty 1-story gymnasium in a rectangular shape, faces west. A modern brick dining hall is attached on the east; a 1967 red brick addition connects it to the Henry J. Boehn Building on the north. The entryway is flanked by large rock columns with ocular glass insets while double modern metal doors provide entry with original transoms. The property is a good example of New Deal program construction utilizing locally available material. In spite of the additions, the property retains a large degree of architectural integrity."
