House History
Named for Allan Kimball (1888-1946). Kimball joined the Iowa State staff in 1914 and became professor and head of architectural engineering in 1915 and until 1946. The modern campus owes much of its arrangement to the expert planning and designing of Professor Kimball. He helped plan many campus buildings.
