The front façade features a three-bay projecting full-height portico supported by four colossal Corinthian order columns. In 1916, the General Service Building was added and consists of three distinct parts: a central projecting block and two dormitory wings. It was built with funds donated by the college’s founder, Major James Lide Coker.[2][3]
