It was designed by Lincoln, Nebraska, architect Alfred W. Woods. It is a two-story wood frame building with red brick veneer, on a raised basement. It has a one-story covered porch.[2][3]

It was the second building on the campus and served as the women's dormitory from 1914 to 1932 or 1933, when it was replaced in that role by Edna Work Hall. It was then renamed "Sparks Hall", named for Joseph Sparks, the first president of the college, and began serving as the men's dormitory.[2]
