Sophronia Brooks Hall Auditorium, Campus of Oberlin College

hall.jpgHall Auditorium was constructed in 1953 to the plans of architects Harrison and Abramovitz.  The building is a significant resource from the Modern Movement, and is one of Northeast Ohio's oldest contemporary buildings.  It displays not only an innovative design but wonderfully crafted details, such as its curtain-like undulating marble facade.  College leaders are considering long-terms plans that include demolition of this iconic campus landmark.  The situation highlights the challenge of recent past preservation.
