GOTTA SUMMARY The Oklahoma College for Women is the historic state-supported womens college located in Chickasha, Grady County, Oklahoma. The campus originated in 1911 with the opening of the Administration building, currently known as Troutt Hall. Over the course of the next forty years, an additional fifteen of the existing twenty buildings were constructed. Four buildings have been erected on the campus since 1951: Gary Hall, built 1956-1957; the Alumni Chapel, completed in 1968; the Power and Heating Plant, built 1970; and, the Physical Education Center, built 1982. Due to insufficient age and, for the buildings constructed after 1965, a lack of association with the historic state-supported womens school, these buildings are noncontributing. Of the historic sixteen buildings, all but two are contributing resources to the district. The fourteen contributing buildings are Administration, Nellie Sparks Hall, Willard Hall, the President's Home, President's Home Garage, Austin Hall, Health and Physical Education, Senior Hall, Home Management House, Robertson Hall, Lawson Hall, Canning Hall, Addams Hall and Nash Library. The Steam Plant, currently named the
