Mid-cenury modern architect and retired Penn State professor Phil Hallock designed homes and businesses in State College for thirty years. His contribution to the architectural landscape of the area is explored in exhibit on view at the Centre Furnace Mansion from September 10, 2006 to March 4, 2007.

A select number of Hallock's original drawings, plans, photographs, and artwork will be on view at the Centre Furnace Mansion during the Mansion's regular tour hours – Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and there is no charge for admission.

Modern images of houses that he designed during the 1950s and 60s were also on exhibit at the State College Municipal Building through January 7, 2007.
