Whitcomb Lee Conservatory, known as "the Con," was built in 1906 in the Prairie School style. This unique five-sided building, listed in the National Register of Historic Buildings, originally housed Lee Memorial Chapel and the music department.
This charming five-sided building (yup, that's right) is also home sweet home to our nationally-recognized theatre department. We also heard it's haunted 👀
