University Presbyterian Church and Student Center
Edward Tough, Architect
Commonly known as the Pres House, this building is significant as a masterfully executed example of the Gothic Revival style which was locally popular between 1915 and 1945 for the construction of churches. The primary façades are of rock-faced Lannonstone and the main entrance is located within an imposing 70-foot high corner tower. The building exhibits stylistic elements such as Tudor-arched wood doors, projecting oriel windows with diamond-shaped panes of glass, leaded-glass casement windows, Gothic arches, and walls with stone buttresses, tracery and pinnacles.
