History & local legend
Gwendolyn is the name attached to the ghost of Grove City College's J. Howard Pew Fine Arts Center. Student versions place her on the theater's catwalk or among its costumes, sometimes describing a fatal fall. A different tradition remembers a custodian who helped with sewing for productions and remained attached to the arts after her death.
Former campus safety officer Larry Kress wrote about the building in 2017 after working at the college during the period when he and his wife lived in Grove City from 2006 to 2008. During overnight rounds, he repeatedly felt that someone was immediately behind him in the passage behind the auditorium and on the stairs. When he looked, he found no one.
