English Office Building Item Info
- Title:
- English Office Building
- Description:
- The English Office Building was originally designed to provide offices for the President, Secretary, and Treasurer. In 1905, the Public Grounds Committee recommended the removal of the building. The recommendation was never carried out for the Office Building. In 1908, the college bookstore used the first floor, and the custodian and Head of the Military Department occupied the second floor. The building was connected to the central heating system in 1914, at which time it was the headquarters for the Building and Grounds department, and two rooms were rented to the YMCA for their food service employees. In 1929, the second floor was converted into office space for the English Department, and in 1940, the name of the building was changed to English Office Building. In 1973, all English Speech offices were relocated to the other building, and the old Office Building became the headquarters for International Education Services.
