About Ware College House - History
Ware College House encircles the great Lower Quad, with buildings
that span a half century of construction. The oldest structure is the quadruple-turreted
Tudor Memorial Tower entranceway, designed by Cope and Stewardson and completed
in 1900, in time to commemorate Pennsylvanians who perished in the Spanish- American
War. The adjacent buildings to the south and east were built during the next few
years, but it was only in 1954 that the University completed the south range of
the Ware Quadrangle with the construction of Butcher and Speakman (designed by
Trautwein and Howard). The breezy eclecticism of the original buildings was now
out of fashion, but the simplified style that was adopted respects the older work.
