It has 3 stories, a concrete foundation, and has a brick wall exterior. The roof is flat and is composed of built up roofing. It has multi-pane, double hung windows made of wood and the brick exterior is laid in a diaper pattern.1 Some of its decorative features have been removed including the wooden balcony over the east entrance and the cast stone pinnacles. A bas-relief sculpture over the south entrance was placed on the building in 1936 and created by Louise Utter with Works Progress Administration funds. Utter also contributed to the design and creation of the Knight Library heads during the same time period. The sculpture’s inscription reads: "A free & enlightened press the surest guarantor of liberty.” The 1953 addition (Allen Hall) replaced McClure Hall on the west side of the Journalism Building. At that time the Journalism Building was completely remodeled to become the East wing of Allen Hall. New concrete interior walls were added (the brick wall were no longer bearing) and decorative elements were removed (cast stone pinnacles, wood balcony, flower box). In 1999 the loading dock was converted to a new building entrance (south lobby). The new south lobby, designed by Boucher, Mouchka, and Larson, connects Allen Hall with the Journalism Building. As part of this project, Cameron, McCarthy, Gilbert and Scheibe created the Ted M. Natt 1st Amendment Plaza and redesigned the entrance to the building along the University Street Axis.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-UShistoryarchitecturecultural resources surveyOther
