Goodhart Hall was originally designed by Mellor, Meigs
& Howe Architects of Philadelphia as an auditorium
for theater, concerts and lectures. It was completed
in 1928 in the English medieval style. Old World Stone
carved from Indiana limestone the delicate and complicated
elements of the broken and missing finials. Using an
existing finial as a model, our carvers replicated the
designs exactly. The topmost part of the fleché
was missing.

improperly face bedded, a problem only noticed years later
when water and weather caused the carved elements of the building
to shale and spall. The problem was particularly evident on
the spire quoins and main entrance jambs.
