The center of all Park activity is contained in the imposing structure of Mackay Hall. This building, reminiscent of the days of chivalry, is the first which captures the visitor’s eye and that which commands the entire campus. The building, begun in April, 1886, was first occupied in 1893, and was built entirely by student labor and of the stone from Park’s own quarry. Its name is derived from Dr, Donald Mackay who gave most of the necessary funds. Today it houses the administration and faculty offices and most of the classrooms.

A building of attractive, native white limestone, the Carnegie Library was built in two stages, in 1909, and 1923, and remodeled in 1962-63. With this remodeling, more space for bookshelves and study sections were added, and facilities for typing and listening provided. Today, the library provides a good col¬ lection of records and collections of around 70,000 books and bound periodicals. Through the generosity of many, the library has a notable collection of rare books and arts works; plus, most especially, a collection of Bibles in various languages and English editions.
