Old Central at Oklahoma State University is the oldest building on campus. It was built circa 1896. The building currently houses the OSU Honors College.
The main structure (basement, main floor and upper floor) is red brick, with two green towers at the top. The main entrance appears to be at the south end of the building.
According to the TAP blog (The Architecture Partnership), the building survived a tornado, multiple renovations, and even an attempt to demolish it.
Old Central can be found at the far southeast corner of the OSU campus. Near the building is an Oklahoma Centennial Clock, a sculpture of David playing a harp, and the OSU Alumni Center.
