Charles City College Hall
Another building was built on campus in 1890 and this building became the music conservatory, which enhanced the cultural life of the community through its educational offerings and the concerts that were held here. The building was gutted in a fire in 1914, and it was rebuilt but without its original cross-gable roof and tower. The windowless roof dormers were added at that time as well. The architectural firm of Beuttler & Arnold planned the rebuilding and Coomer & Small was the contractor. It received its current name after Morningside College merged with Charles City College of the German Methodist Episcopal Church. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and as a contributing property in the Morningside College Historic District in 1997.
