It's a building that has long stood as a symbol for Texas State University. Old Main is almost as old as the institution itself. We learn more in this report filed by Geoff Gorman

Open with interview clips of students guessing the year Old Main was built…0:15
On top of one of the tallest hills in San Marcos sits Old Main. Designed by Edward Northcraft, Old Main was built in 1903 on top of a cavern that had to be filled with multiple loads of concrete. The second floor of the building was used as auditorium and chapel that included a cathedral ceiling, balcony, and stage. It wasn't until 1972 that the building's interior was renovated and the auditorium was split  into smaller rooms.

In 1988 another renovation added the third floor at the balcony level, yet the ornate chapel ceiling is still visible today in room 320. The last and most recent renovations occurred in 1993 and 1994 when the original styling and color of the building's roof were restored. Today Old Main serves as office space for the College of Fine Arts and Communications as well as the School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
Escobar…0:10…heard the buildings haunted
While I'm not quite sure if the building is haunted or not, I do know that this Victorian style castle on top of the hill will remain one of Texas State University's oldest buildings. For Bobcat Update, I'm Geoff Gorman.
