From the Finlandia University website: "Old Main - Built in 1899, Old Main was the first building on the Finlandia University campus. Finnish immigrants designed the building after the Romanesque style using red sandstone from nearby quarries. For nearly forty years, Old Main housed the entire college, including classrooms, dormitories, administrative offices, living quarters for the president, a library, chapel, kitchen, dining room, and laundry facilities. Today, administrative offices such as Financial Aid, Admissions, and the Office of Student Accounts are located in the building." Source
