Bridgewater, Virginia
Background History
Cole Hall itself was built in 1929. From the Bridgewater website
"Cole Hall was erected in 1929 as the auditorium/
theatre section of a future administration building. The auditorium/theatre seats about 650 people and is equipped
with a modern stage, dressing rooms, a stage lighting system, motion picture and sound equipment, one artist grand
piano, and a three-manual Moeller organ with 51 ranks of pipes which was installed in 1974. The name of the building
perpetuates the memory of Dr. Charles Knox Cole. It is a gift of his daughter, Mrs. Virginia Garber Cole Strickler. The
Reuel B. Pritchett Museum was established by the Rev. Reuel B. Pritchett of White Pine, Tennessee, who gave his large
collection of books, rare Bibles, and articles of antiquity to the College in 1954. The collection consists of 175 rare books,
including a Bible published in Venice in 1482, and seven Bibles printed in Philidelphia in the eighteenth-century by
Christopher Sauer. Over 10,000 artifacts are included in the collection. "
