There is a Lincoln Log Cabin, located in Old Main. The Weekly Spectrum, dated Oct. 31, 1923, carried a front-page story announcing "Lincoln Log Cabin New Addition to L.C. Theatre." In it the editor describes the rough-hewn, half-log walls, wrought iron door hinges made by Prof. Haile Chisholm and furniture made of hickory and oak. Prof. Arvold and his students went to northern Minnesota to obtain logs for the walls. The finished cabin consisted of two large rooms and a kitchen. The Lincoln Log Cabin was a unique place used for dinner festivals at Christmas, and a banquet on Lincoln’s birthday. In the 1950s, due to Arvold’s retirement and a new directions by Dr. Frederick Walsh, who took over the theatre program, use of the Log Cabin as a place for entertaining ended, and the space was used primarily for costuming, building sets, grad student offices, etc. It still exists and small groups do use it for meetings today.
