Whitestone Hall
This building, a women’s dormitory, was named for the brilliant white oolitic limestone quarried in Warren County and known in trade circles as Bowling Green limestone. Built in 1928 in the Georgian Style, with little ornamentation, the dormitory contained eighty-five rooms, a dining room, the school’s infirmary, a study hall, a recreation hall and "a room furnished with a Victrola." As with all his campus designs, except the Kentucky Building, Davis’ selection of interior building materials and fixtures went unquestioned.
