In 1925, ISU built the Women's Residence Hall. The building came under the direction of Helen Reeves in 1926 and she retained her position for twenty-one years. In gratitude of her service the college renamed the building Reeves Hall in 1959. Now, you might be asking yourself where is Reeves Hall on the campus. Well most people pass it everyday without even acknowledging it or should I say what is left of it. The only remaining pieces of the hall are the gate and some of the gothic style figures. The building was torn down just 29 years after is was renamed in honor of Helen Reeves. The great people of Terre Haute thanked her for her service, and then destroyed the building. Now the site is just some grass and a walkway, so was the demolishing of the beautiful Gothic styled building really needed my answer would be NO.
