Hixon Hall - Allan Carr Theatre

Hixon Hall - Exterior

This is an October 1981 detail image of the southeast side of the Hixon Hall Theatre main structure. There are two "Allan Carr Theatre" and "Garrick Players" flags present, mounted on the Arts & Crafts Howard Van Doren Shaw windows (modeled on a type by Edwin Lutyens for the Deanery, England, early 1900s). Roberts Hall can be seen partially on the left. "Along the west facade, which has remained intact, innumerable gabled windows and quaint doorways compete for attention, while the shorter north and south facades are embellished with, respectively, an over-scaled portico and huge bay window." (Kindree J. Knoepfle on Hixon Hall in "Lake Forest College: A Guide to the Campus," 2007, pp. 61-62).
