Historical Buildings Tour

1. Mather Memorial Building

Mather Memorial Building houses the offices and classrooms of the Anthropology, Psychology and Sociology departments. It once housed the administrative offices and classrooms of Flora Stone Mather College. The court was used for outdoor events, such as the annual May Day celebrations, which included the crowning of a queen, a maypole dance, and skits. Mather Memorial was given by Samuel Mather and his family in memory of Flora Stone Mather and was designed by Charles Schweinfurth. Cleveland architect Charles W. Hopkinson, who planned many public schools, designed the addition built in 1930. The inscription on the frieze is Proverbs 31:10.
