+The construction of Old Main began in August of 1881.[5] With an estimated building cost of $30,000,[4] Iowa’s Governor, General Francis Marion Drake, donated $20,000 to help fund the construction.[2] C.B. Lakin was hired as the architect of Old Main and J.S. Meyers was contracted to act as the superintendent of the construction.[6] Workers were paid $10 for each thousand bricks laid. The building was completed and dedicated in 1883.

+The largest room in Old Main used to be the chapel, which was used not only for religious purposes, but for academic assemblies as well.[4] It also housed the Executive Offices, the old Women’s Gymnasium, the School of and Domestic Science classrooms, and laboratories for Botany and Geology.[1] In 1900, they added the addition of the Sheslow Auditorium, where many events took place such as the popular women's intramural basketball games.[2] At the time, such events in this auditorium drew in very large crowds. Every hallway originally led to an inside stairwell which split off into separate lower and upper levels of stairs.[4] Each room was also heated by stoves, which is why Old Main has so many chimneys.[4]

+One of the largest scandals that occurred on campus was the notoriously known burglary of the bell clapper, supposedly stolen by the “filthy five." The clapper was missing for twenty years and was discovered mysteriously on the front doorstep of the Office of University Relations after decades of disappearance.[3] The criminals still remain anonymous today, though a mysterious source reveals them to be three males and two female graduates of the class of 1960.[3]
