Catt Hall

Carrie Chapman Catt Hall is the home of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Opened in 1893 as Agriculture Hall, the structure was designed by Josselyn and Taylor of Cedar Rapids in the Queen Anne Revival picturesque style with steep roofs, dormer windows and patterned brickwork. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, the building was renovated and renamed Carrie Chapman Catt Hall in 1995 in honor of the Iowa State alumnus and co-founder of the League of Women Voters. Catt Hall is also the home of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics and the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies.
