Architect: J.K. Dow. Dedicated on June 9th, 1909. The Auditorium and Library Building was erected on the second site of old College Hall at a total cost of $130, 000. Despite tales that the clock was not installed until 1912, it can be seen in the 1910-1911 yearbook. The clockfaces were lit in December of 1946. The chimes were apparently installed in summer of 1948. The building was named in honor of Dr. E.A. Bryan, president emeritus of the college, by the board of regents on May 12, 1916. Circa the 1960s it was headquarters for Department of Speech and some faculty of Department of Music. Bryan Hall, built in 1909, is symbolically the dominant structure of the historic campus core. Originally built as the principal library and assembly hall, it commemorates Dr. E. A. Bryan, who was president from 1893 to 1916 and was responsible for the development of WSU to a major educational institution. It was designed by the leading Spokane architect, John K. Dow, who followed traditions already established at WSU, yet gave the building an individual character. This highly eclectic building is not dominated by a single style. The broad bracketed eaves, the round arched windows link it with the Italianate Style. The tall clock tower is clearly related to the Italian Campanile.
