French Chateauesque's origins in the Romanesque are evidenced in this building by Collins, who headed the architectural department of the International Correspondence Schools (ICS). It was designed to house ICS, a mail-order school founded in Shenandoah, Schuylkill County (and famous for its matchbook advertising), which prepared aspiring miners for their qualifying examinations. The building was later sold to the Hudson Coal Company and today it serves as housing for the elderly.
