- An appropriation was made in the spring of 1880 for "a building to be occupied by the schools of Agriculture and Veterinary Science and the Botanical Department." The construction contract was awarded in May for $5752 to F.S. Whiting. The building was completed for occupancy in 1881. On April 8, 1882, a tornado crossed the campus, causing damage to North Hall. Repairs were made the next month. A parch was added on the south side in 1886. Two years later, a water supply and coal stoves were provided. When Margaret Hall was built in 1894, North Hall became an attached wing of the new building. The lower floor was made into a kitchen; the second floor was remodeled for the Department of Domestic Economy and living rooms, while the was set up for servants' rooms. North Hall was taken down in 1926. Credit: The Iowa State University Campus and Its Buildings
