Henry Hardin Cherry Hall is a building located on the campus of Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Built with funds appropriated under the New Deal,〔 the building was completed in 1937. It is named for Henry Hardin Cherry, who founded the ''Bowling Green Normal School'', the forerunner of the modern university. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. ==History== The idea for the construction of Henry Hardin Cherry Hall (or Cherry Hall for short) was formulated by Louisville architect Brinton B. Davis. Nicknamed "the hill builder,"〔 〕 Davis had designed a majority of the buildings at what became Western Kentucky University prior to that time. His plan was to use funds appropriated through the Public Works Administration to make improvements to the campus and expand classroom space. The crown jewel of the university, Cherry Hall was completed in 1937. Located at the intersection of College and 15th Streets,〔 〕 the building contained space for fifty classrooms, sixteen laboratories and sixty offices. At the time of its construction, Cherry also housed the campus bookstore and post office.〔 The building contains three floors, as well as a basement which provides extra office and classroom space. The hall was named after Dr. Cherry, who died shortly after the completion of the building.〔 〕
