It encompassed three contributing buildings and one contributing object on the campus of Manchester University. They are the Administration Building, Ikenberry Hall, and Oakwood Hall. The Administration Building consists of the 2+1⁄2-story, Second Empire style Baumgerdner Hall (1889); 2+1⁄2-story, Second Empire style, Bible School (1895); with the Tudor Revival style connecting the two older buildings (1920-1921).
