- Description:
- The Trustees acted to initiate the construction of two farm cottages at their May 1882 meeting. The first occupant of the house was William Pierce. Fred Leighton lived there from 1892-1894, and from 1894 to 1904, it was the home of Professor G.L. McKay. In 1904, the house had to be moved to permit the construction of the new creamery (East Hall). It was sold and removed from campus in 1904. Credit: The Iowa State University Campus and Its Buildings
