Declining enrollment, rising costs, and not enough coming from endowments resulted in the 174-year-old MacMurray College in Jacksonville shutting its doors and the end of the spring semester

Now, the board of trustees as set the date that the facility- including its dorms and chapel- will go on the auction block – November 12.

Tulsa-based auction house Williams & Williams and consultant Jones Lang LaSalle out of Chicago have divided the property into 18 parcels – though admittedly, the best solution would be for one individual to purchase the entire 60-acre campus.

Hindman Auctions is overseeing the auction of artwork from Nellie Knopf – a long time faculty member of the college. 16 of her pieces will be available starting September 30, with another 44 going on sale on October 1.

Spradlin Auctions, out of Jacksonville, will auction off some of the college’s other assets
