History

Old Main was constructed in 1880 by the local Pittsburgh architect, James P. Bailey, who later designed the Butler County Courthouse in Butler, Pennsylvania, and the First Presbyterian Church in Beaver, Pennsylvania.

The building opened its doors in the fall of 1881 as the first structure to be built on the new campus. Today, Old Main serves as a classroom building, and also houses the college's faculty, and administration offices.
