Old Main (Minnesota State University, Mankato)

Its main section, built in 1924, is dominated by a prominent Jacobethan tower, and is connected to an older 1908 building, now known as the Annex.

[2] These structures are the oldest surviving buildings on the original valley campus, which was the first site of the state's second normal school.

The 1924 building was designed by Clarence H. Johnston, then the state architect.

[4] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
