Farm Boarding Club Item Info
- Title:
- Farm Boarding Club
- Description:
- The Farm Boarding Club was constructed the summer on 1878 after the Horticulture Department expressed the need for a "garden-house" in 1871. IN 1894 after the Horticulture department had moved to the new Agriculture Hall (Botany Hall), Horticulture Hall was remodeled as a residence. The building continued as a faculty or sub-faculty club until 1906, when it was reserved for contagious hospital purposes. The building remained in place until 1915 when it was moved to the south side of what is now called Wallace Road at the west end of the new addition to the Women's Gym. It was used as an employees' boarding house for some years therafter. Later it was an employees residence. It was razed in 1970 to make way for the Gymnasium addition.
