Unfortunately, I could not find a wealth of readily available information online about Mississippi State University's Chapel of Memories. Below is what I did find.
"As the first dormitory on campus, it was called the Main Dormitory and in later years became known as Old Main. The first section of Old Main was built in 1880. Additions were constructed in 1901, 1903, 1906, and 1922. When it burned January 22, 1959, it was thought to be the largest college dormitory in the United States. Bricks salvaged from the fire were used to build the Chapel of Memories."
Taken from library.msstate.edu/exhibits/university_buildings/index.asp exactly as it appeared on August 14, 2013.
