History

The legislature appropriated $25,000 in 1899 for an agricultural building. It was completed in 1900 and used for agricultural and dairy classes. This delightful building, so representative of its time, was designed by Holland and Squire of Topeka. About 1924 it was remodeled for the Department of Education and became known as Educational Hall until it was officially name for Professor E.L. Holton who served Kansas State College in Sociology and Education and finally as Head of the Department of Education. Later D. Holton became Dean of the Summer Session. In 1989 the interior of the building was totally renovated for Student Services for $1,000,000 raised through student fees. The design of Holton, with its rugged stone work, low semi-circular arched entrance and turrets is very typical of buildings that reflected the revival of the Romanesque forms so popular in the eastern half of the United States during the second half of the 19th century.
