Bowman Hall characterizes UW-Stout. Its solid traditional exterior houses a modern, efficient, computerized interior devoted to serving students. The building is home to a variety of services including the Advisement Office, Registration and Records, Student Services, and the Financial Aid Office, as well as classroom space.
The oldest existing structure at Stout, Bowman Hall was built in 1897 to replace an earlier wood structure that was leveled in a disastrous fire. Through the years, it has served as a classroom, laboratory and office building. Noted for its massive clock tower on the north end, Bowman serves as a landmark in the community and in the memory of every Stout graduate.
The building is named for Clyde A. Bowman, who came to Stout in 1919 to administer the industrial education division. His tenure spanned the administrations of three Stout Institute presidents, and served as a temporary president upon L.D. Harvey's death. - Child and Family Study Center

Originally called the household arts building, and later the home economics building, Harvey Hall was first occupied in 1916 and has undergone many changes since. Through the years, it housed the schools of Home Economics, Education and Human Services, and Liberal Studies.

Lorenzo Dow Harvey devoted most of his life to education and held many influential offices including president of the state normal schools in Milwaukee, state superintendent of public instruction, and president of the National Education Association. Harvey came to Menomonie in 1903 to head up the Stout Manual Training schools and serve as superintendent of the public school system. To simplify administration of the various Stout enterprises, the Stout Institute was created in 1908, and Harvey became its first president and served in that role until his death in 1922.
An experienced educator and administrator, Harvey was well suited to his role as president. He held a strong belief in the merits of manual training, domestic science, art and physical education. His reputation and influence aided in making vocational training an accredited part of education. - Heritage Hall

Louis Smith Tainter House
The Louis Smith Tainter House, once known to students as Eichelberger Hall, was designed by Harvey Ellis, an architect known for his influence on 19th century Midwestern architecture, using a style termed Richardsonian Romanesque.
The three-story stone mansion was built by lumber baron Andrew Tainter for his son, Louis. He and his wife lived there for several years and then sold the mansion to Paul Wilson, son of lumberman William Wilson.
In 1940, the property was seized by the county for back taxes. The Stout Institute obtained the historic home by paying the back taxes with funds from the Eichelberger legacy, an endowment received from a wealthy Horicon, Wisconsin family.
In 1945, the home was remodeled to serve as a women's dormitory. After additional residence halls were built, the building was used for office space. After further renovation, the building became home for the Stout University Foundation Inc. and the Stout Alumni Association. - McCalmont Education and Human Services

He also envisioned an art program that would serve as a bridge on the campus between technology and liberal studies. Today, the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences is the largest academic unit on campus, and the department of art and design is the largest in the state.
