NRHP Nomination Form"Luce Hall is a 2-story institutional building at Abilene Christian University (formerly Abilene Christian College) facing west. This Classical Revival building utilizes an open subdivided plan. The brick veneer exterior walls are subtly detailed by a relief pattern in the bricks. A brick parapet with a partial balustrade, resting on a cast stone cornice, conceals the flat roof.
Access to the symmetrical main (west) facade is through a recessed center passage. A cast stone entablature and pilasters frame the first floor primary entrance. Brick quoins on the end of the building and paired and banded brick pilasters divide the main facade into three bays. The 12/12 wood windows on the upper floor have cast stone sills, while similar windows on the first floor rest on a continuous cast stone sill. Cast stone urns on the parapet and cast stone cartouches along the entry further embellish the building."
