In 1901, Eliza Fowler of Lafayette donated $70,000 for the creation of a building to serve as a general assembly hall, chapel, and auditorium at Purdue. The building was completed and dedicated in 1904, named in honor of its primary benefactor. A pipe organ was donated by her son, James Fowler. The original Eliza Fowler Hall was demolished in 1954 and a new Fowler Hall built on the same footprint as part of Stewart Center.
