The resulting structure was the first club on Prospect to use the local stone that was increasingly prevalent in the architecture of the campus. (This gives the building its academic feel.) Cannon had main components: the main, three-story body and the single-story kitchen wing on the east, the latter dominated by an enormous chimney. Cannon's facade is remarkably plain compared with other clubs on Prospect.
