History

The Eppley Fine Arts Building was built in 1966 by Chris Hansen Construction from designs by a local architectural firm called W.L. Beutler and Son. Featuring a steel frame, brick, block, glazed tile, and stone masonry, cement and acoustical plaster and ceramic mosaic tile, the building was constructed for long term usage. A ceramic mosaic is situated at the main entrance. [ [http://www.chc-mchan.com/eppley.html "Eugene C. Eppley Fine Arts Building"] , Chris Hansen Construction. Retrieved 6/11/08.]
