Completed in 1929, Curtis Hall originally housed biology and chemistry classrooms and laboratories and later the physics and dental hygiene departments. Its name honored members of the Curtis family, who served the College as benefactors, trustees and faculty. Among them was W.B. Curtis, a Civil War general buried in West Liberty Cemetery. His home, Liberty House, provided classrooms and a residence for students in the late 1800's. Once a freestanding building, Curtis Hall was joined with McColloch Hall in 1961 to become the West Wing of Main Hall.
