The Main Building, 1895
This building was built by the village of Mt. Pleasant in the hope that it, along with 10 acres of land for a total of $1, would entice the State of Michigan formally to authorize a public normal school in Mt. Pleasant.  The building was opened in 1893; Central officially became a state insitution in 1895.

   The Main Building, 1902
An East and West Wing were added early on to the original structure.
