Description
“The Outdoor Theater was built as a gift of the Class of 1915, and designed by one of its members and the university’s first architecture graduate, Leon LeGrand. It was built in cooperation with the Work Projects Administration. The Art Deco stage was nearly demolished and replaced in 1977, but protests prompted its renovation and the addition of concrete terraced seating. It is a contributing property to the Clemson University Historic District II (NRHP).”
