Boarding Cottage West Item Info
- Title:
- Boarding Cottage West
- Description:
- Enrollments at the College were increasing to the extent that Old Main could only accommodate some students. In 1870 it had been proposed that a dormitory building, harmonizing with the College Building, should be erected northwest of it and provide facilities to house 120 students. The legislature appropriated no funds for that structure. Ten years later, funds were made available for Boarding Cottages. Bids were taken on proposals for six-room and eight-room houses. The contract was awarded to F.S. Whiting to build a 16-room building. The final cost exceeded the $3,500 appropriation by $206.50. Credit: The Iowa State University Campus and Its Buildings
