Philadelphia architect Samuel Sloan designed it as a large space for commencements and assemblies, but faculty and students detested its poor acoustics. Sloan’s design included medieval buttresses and Gothic arches, the first of their kind on campus. In the late 1920s, when the university discovered its timbers had rotted, Memorial Hall was razed and rebuilt in a more conventional style.
