Keen Johnson Building

This Colonial Revival style building, built in 1939 as a WPA project, was originally the student union at Eastern Kentucky State Teachers College. It is named in honor of Keen Johnson (1896-1970), former governor of Kentucky and regent of Eastern. It is now used as the university's faculty club and as a facility for receptions, banquets, and conferences. The slate roof with double exterior end chimneys is surmounted by an octagonal balustrade cupola with clock, the most notable landmark on the "campus beautiful".
