Kearney Hall, OSU

How old is this building?

Here is a photo I found of what it used to look like

I have walked past these pillars a hundred times. I don't know if I've ever taken the time to look at them. The building is newly remodeled, but parts of it are old. How old? I don't know. Well I didn't know.
Apparently Kearney Hall was Apperson Hall from 1906 to 2005. It was built in 1900. I assume that means they started construction in 1900. A third story was added in 1920. Then in 2005 they remodeled it and made is "seismically safe." I think that being the home of the civil and construction engineering department it might have reflected badly on the school if their buidling had fallen down in an earthquake. Anyway, during the remodel they very carefully preserved the beautiful old stone work.

Here's the link where I found a bunch of this information:
