15 Pioneer Hall Pioneer Hall stands as the first physical building on the Iowa Wesleyan University campus. It has been known throughout history as The Institute Building, The Music Hall, and The Pioneer Hall. Construction began in 1844 on Pioneer Hall which was to have instructional space on the first floor and residential space for a university administrator on the second floor. The aim was to construct a building large enough to accommodate 140 student desks on the first floor. In the 1850s and 1860s, Pioneer Hall served as a female student boarding home while in the late 19th is was restructured for academic use as the Conservatory of Music.

Old Main Under the presidency of James Harlan, work to raise money for a second educational structure began. President Harlan actually visited Mount Pleasant residents door to door to gain financial backing for the construction of Old Main on central campus. The cornerstone of the building was laid on July 4th, 1854. Unfortunately, in September and October of 1854 severe storms caused extreme damage to the in-progress brick exterior walls yielding delays and additional costs. The P.E.O. Sisterhood’s first business meeting occurred in Old Main as well as countless community meetings and academic instructional hours which still occur today. This building now houses the Music Department, the Southeast Iowa Symphony, and the P.E.O. Founding Memory Room. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

The President’s House The modern presidential residence of Iowa Wesleyan University is located at 611 East Washington Street in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. Built in 1882, the edifice was originally the home of the Lieutenant Baron Hutchinson Crane family. The family included Lt. Baron Crane, his wife Abbie Elizabeth Mellen, and the couple’s nine children. The son of Reverend Crane, one of the early Baptist ministers of Mount Pleasant, Baron served in the Civil War and was wounded at the Battle of Chattanooga. He was captured and held at the Libby Prison until a confederate soldier, and former Iowa Wesleyan student, recognized Lt. Crane and assisted with his release. Baron passed away in December 1887 at the age of 49, only five years after the construction of the home was complete.

The original structure of the Crane home included a sitting room, parlor, dining room, kitchen, pantry, and bathroom on the first floor. Five bedrooms and a nursery were located on the second floor. A glass conservatory was built on the east side of the home for Lt. Crane’s hobby of collecting exotic plants but, the structure was removed in 1900. After the Crane family, the first Iowa Wesleyan president to reside in the home was U.S. Smith in 1924.
