The oldest building at Arizona State began as the main hall of the Arizona Territorial Normal School, a teacher training college in a farm town of a few hundred people. W. A. McGinnis designed it in Victorian Queen Anne with Romanesque touches. Arizona would not become a state for another fourteen years.
