This space was built in 1885 as the Office of the Commission of Mines, Manufactures, and Agriculture, which had the responsibility for promoting Arkansas to the rest of the nation and the world. The late-19th and early-20th centuries constituted the golden age of "expositions" and Arkansas vigorously attempted to "boost" itself in this fashion. To this end the CMM&A also maintained a nearby Display Room. During the Medical School era it served as a lecture hall. This room and the adjacent spaces now display the Pillars of Power exhibit.
