Waller Hall was built in the Renaissance style of architecture.
This red brick building was designed in the same proportions as a Greek cross.
Bishop Janes was responsible for proposing this use of the cross shape for the building.
Each of the two wings is 84 feet (26 m) long and 44 feet (13 m) wide with aedicule porches on the west, east, and north ends of the building.
Originally, the building was 100 feet (30 m) tall as measured from the base of the building to the top of the dome.
The distance from the eaves of the structure to the base is 50 feet (15 m).
The basement of the building is 12 feet (3.7 m) high and the first floor 16 feet (4.9 m) high.
The foundation is made of stone and the roof has composition shingles.
Both the second and third floors are 12 feet (3.7 m) tall.
The hall has a cupola topping the structure.
Other details include pilasters, dentils, and brick corbelling on the exterior and circular stairways on the interior.
