MAIN CLASSROOM BUILDING The Miami Street School, was built and designed by William H. Hollenberger in a Gothic Revival style and completed in 1884 during a building boom in Tif in. It’s steeped gables, bold details, and strong vertical lines were a harbinger of the Collegiate Gothic movement that would later de ine collegiate architecture in the United States. Tif in University purchased the abandoned school on September 28, 1956, for $12,200 from the board, only $10,000 more than the board paid for the land seventy-two years earlier. This purchase of a historic building set in motion a modern campus. It is called Main or the Main Classroom Building today and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. History notes from Onward to the Dawn, A History of Tif in University, by Michael Grandillo.
