The original McClure Hall was demolished make way for a new journalism building but the McLure Annex remains. Allen Hall was named for Eric Allen, first dean of the School of Journalism.
Below is a screenshot from Google Earth to show the original Journalism Building which was undergoing renovation in 2010-12. I believe the east facade of the original annex can still be seen today after the renovation.
