Isaac McCoy Hall, a Classical Revival building constructed in 1937 as a men's dormitory, was named for Baptist missionary Isaac McCoy, who founded Oklahoma's first Baptist church, Muscogee Baptist Church at Ebenezer Station just north of Muskogee, on September 9, 1832. Its cornerstone was laid on February 6, 1937 by John Collier, United States Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and it was dedicated on May 4, 1937 by Dr. George W. Truett, President of the Baptist World Alliance. H.H. Nieman was the architect, and Patrick J. Hurley furnished the lobby in memory of John Hart Scott, D.D., president of Bacone College from 1897 to 1905. Isaac McCoy was born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, on June 17, 1784, and died in Louisville, Kentucky, on June 21, 1846; for thirty years as a Baptist missionary, he devoted his entire time and energies to the civil and religious improvement of the Indian tribes of this country, enduring perils and privations for the sake of the Indians he loved, and his last words were, "Tell the brethren to never let the Indian mission decline."
