Philips Memorial Building
- Philips Memorial Building
Philips Memorial Hall is a building of West Chester University, United States, named after George M. Philips (principal from 1881-1920), originally opened in 1927 and now on the National Register of Historic Places. Designed by Walter F. Price, the exterior is fashioned from hammer-dressed Foxcroft Wissahickon Schist, a local stone commonly used for buildings in the Collegiate Gothic style. Thanks to the generous support of Emily Kessel Asplundh '27 and many generous alumni and friends, extensive preservation and renovations were completed in 1999. Special features include: the whispering archway; the distinctive gargoyles; coats of arms and figures of western civilization; the 2000-volume Philips Autographed Library; the 1200-seat Emily K. Asplundh Concert Hall; and the Presidential office suite.
