Located on the St. Mary's school campus, the Eliza Battle Pittman Auditorium resembles a Lorraine cross to maximize its interior space. Its Neoclassical Revival exterior is ornamented with classical motifs, rusticated piers, cast-iron Corinthian columns, and heavy window cornices that add interest and animation to the design. The building bears the name of a student who attended the school in the 1880s.
