Campus Halls
Pfeiffer Hall was the third major building completed on the campus. Its style became the model for later buildings.
Funding for new buildings and operational expenses were hard to come by. Dr. Upperman regularly made trips to seek needed funds for the school. He found that many people on the east coast were interested in helping a Christian based school. After finding new donors, several introduced him to other people similarly minded who also became donors.

The Georgian architecture and the grand columns of Pfeiffer Hall became the center piece and iconic symbol of
Baxter Seminary. This architectural style was used on many of the later seminary buildings. These along with
the majestic oaks across the campus added to and greatly enhanced the stunning presence of the
Seminary grounds. Seniors added to the number of oak trees by planting one on each and every Arbor Day.
Few, if any, of the other secondary schools' buildings and grounds throughout the State came close to the beauty
of the Baxter Seminary campus.
