WMS-V:1ie-aLViL Kibbee C abin Stone Hall Old Castle Lucius Kibbee, having c om e from Indiana, built this log cabin in 1853 about two miles north of Baldwin. In this cabin, the Rev. Wm. H. Goode preached the fir s t sermon to white set- tlers in the new Kansas territory. ln March of l857, a group met at Kibbee cabin and decided to build a college at Palmyra QBaldwinJ. So in this h um ble cabin, Baker University, named after Bishop Baker, had its birth. The Stone Church, one of the first Methodist buildings in Kansas, was built in l868. The church was used for 15 years until the atten- dance became so great that the worship service was m oved in l885 to the chapel in Centenary Hall. The Stone Church was c on verted into a girls' dormitory and later into a mens' dormi- tory. Old Castle, the first college building was s tarted in the spring of l858. On the building site one block east ofthe campus, the first four -year liberal arts college in Kansas opened its doors. Local Methodists were meeting in the chapel of C e nt ena ry Hall until the new brick church was completed in 1904. On its corner, this church stood for the highest idealsfor a Chris- tian college and sad was the day in November of i930 when it burned. A modern Gothic stone church was built in l932 and is used to this day for university worship.

Parmenter Hall, once known as Old Science Hall, required 20 years to erect and occupy. A gift of SlOO by Abraham Lincoln aided in building finances. The crowded conditions of a growing campus required more room. Centenary Hall was completed in l884. .. The building was razed in 1964. It was built as symbol of progress and it was destroyed to let progress continue. Parm enter and Centenary Baldwin Methodist Church Before the Fire in 1930. 4
