John Jefferson Flowers Memorial Hall

John Jefferson Flowers Memorial Hall (1909), the first building on the Montgomery campus, was built of rough-faced brick made especially for the purpose and trimmed in limestone with heavy reveals and classic carvings. Today, it is the College’s main administration building, housing the Offices of the President, Admission, External Affairs, Communications, Campus Technology, and Academic Affairs, among others, as well as classrooms and faculty offices. Designer H. Lanford Warren of England used the Collegiate Gothic architecture of Cambridge and Oxford as his model for the building, which is topped by a steeple graced with gargoyles. The foyer leads into Leon and Myra Allman Ligon Chapel, where the 114-rank pipe organ was designed by Professor Emeritus Harald Rohlig. On either side of the Chapel are open-air cloisters with limestone tracery windows and brick floors. Flowers Hall underwent an extensive renovation in 1998.
