context_page_description: Eliot Hall is a building on the Reed College campus in Portland, Oregon, in the United States. It was built by Albert Ernest Doyle in 1912 as the arts and sciences building. The name was changed to Eliot Hall when it was dedicated to Thomas Lamb Eliot in 1935 after which it went through some remodeling. The design contains elements of Tudor Gothic, as well as Collegiate Gothic having been inspired by St John's College, Oxford.
context_section_description: Doyle decided to use Tudor and Collegiate style for the building's design and drew up plans accordingly. The main materials chosen in the construction were red brick and limestone for their long lasting quality and to make the building more aesthetically pleasing. The brick was patterned in an English bond style and the lime stone was added to reinforce the building's structure. The mortar joints contain multicolored pea gravel added in for aesthetic purposes and provided the joints with extra strength. Most of the windows are oriel windows with wooden frames, although some have been remodeled to have metal frames instead, and although many of the windows are not arched, the ones for the chapel include Gothic arches. Below them are seals carved into the limestone to honor various universities. The roof itself is designed in a false gable style and is tiled with green tiles. The total cost of the construction was roughly $218,000.
  The building itself contains four floors and seven entrances. The main entrance was designed with a Tudor arch with limestone panels surrounding it. The first floor is actually a daylight basement, while the second floor serves as the main entrance to the building, the third floor which houses the chapel and various offices and the four floor which houses class rooms and offices. While the first and fourth floors consist of narrow halls and low ceilings, the second and third floors contain wider hallways containing polished concrete and wooden floors and higher ceilings.
