The Jesse Dunn classroom building was built to replace the "Castle on the Hill" after fire destroyed it on March 1, 1935. The building was completed in 1936 and dedicated on March 12, 1937, by Eleanor D. Roosevelt. By an Oklahoma Senate Concurrent Resolution, the new classroom building was named for Jesse J. Dunn, former Alva attorney and Oklahoma Supreme Court Justice.
