Veterinary Hospital Item Info
- Title:
- Veterinary Hospital
- Description:
- Located approximately where Pine Room is situated in Memorial Union. The building faced north, and the "running water" was College Creek. Within four or five years of its first use the building was in need of repairs and have become inadequate to serve the increasing number of students. In 1898 it was connected to the central water supply and the windmill that had served to pump water from a well was removed. In 1912 the Veterinary Department moved to teh new Quadrangle. The Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds took over the building at the time as a stroage area for supplies and equipment for maintenance functions. Sometime between then and 1921 a frame one-story shed was added for additional storage across the west side of the building. It was during this period it became known as the Carpenter Shop. In 1926 the building was razed to make room for the new Memorial Union Building.
