A view looking West after the fire that destroyed original Ferry Hall, WSU Building #8. A crowd -- many in cadet uniforms -- stands in the foreground in front of the fire ravaged structure. The city of Pullman is in the background; only a few homes and farms are present. In 1897 a fire starting in the kitchen -- located on the ground floor to the right-- burned out of control. Built in 1892, Ferry Hall was the first large building to be constructed on campus. Designed by H. Preusse to be a dormitory, it housed men and women on separate floors.

A photograph depicting a campus day activities in front of the west facade of Van Doren. Students participated in campus day activities during the early years of WSU. The celebration held in the Spring started with work projects, such as lawn raking and laying side walks, and would conclude with a picnic. Van Doren, designed by J. K. Dow & D. Z. Hubbell was built in 1908 (at a cost of $25,000) as the "domestic economy" building. At the time it was the only structure west of Chicago devoted entirely to Home Economics courses. Named for Ms. Nancy L. Van Doren (the first building on campus named after a woman) professor of English and Librarian at the start of WSU.

A photograph looking up College hill at the west facade of Thompson Hall, WSU Building #1. A corner of White Hall is present at the left of the image; the unfinished clock tower of Bryan Hall is just visible. Defoliated trees line the walk to Thompson. Thompson Hall, formerly the Administration building, is the oldest extant building on campus, designed by noted Seattle architect, James Stephen and his Chicago trained partner, Timotheus Josenhans. It is prominently sited and immediately identifiable by its two large towers, one truncated and one with conical roof. The romantic Victorian Romanesque character of the building is further enhanced by rich variety of windows and entryways and the use of rock-faced granite (quarried near Spokane) for its contrasting trim. It formally opened January 1, 1895 at a cost of $50,000.

Campus buildings--Washington (State)--Pullman Bohler Gym--Washington (State)--Pullman Gymnasiums--Washington (State)--Pullman Building construction--Washington (State)--Pullman
A scene looking west of Bohler Gym, WSU Building #11, during the early stages of construction. Steel reinforced wooden frames for the poured concrete foundation surround the structure. To the left of the image, a lifting tower is complete. In the background is College Hill with the water tower, once located on Colorado Ave, visible. Named for Fred Bohler, the nationally known WSU Coach and Director of Athletics who devoted forty-two years to physical education and sports at WSU. Bohler gym has played a significant role in the history of Cougar sports. Housing a basketball court, swimming pool handball courts and offices, it still has an important role in WSU athletics. This massive red brick building is ornamented with terra cotta and cut stone. The Renaissance Revival window surrounded with alternating plain and broken pediments are surprisingly opulent. The original entrance with sculptural decoration faced west. The architect, Stanley Smith, was the second University architect. Between 1924 and 1947, he completed fourteen major buildings at WSU. Bohler was the first of the three athletics buildings he built on the north side of the campus including Hollingbery Fieldhouse, and Smith Gym.

A view of the south-west facade of the Fieldhouse, WSU building #9, during construction. The foundation and steel framework are in place. Two lifting towers are present near the front and rear of the gym. Construction workings are visible working on the steel beams. The Fieldhouse was built in 1929 at a cost of $200,000 paid for by the Associated Students. It was named in 1963 for the University's noted football coach from 1926-42, "Babe" Hollingbery. In 17 seasons his teams won 99 games, lost 57, and tied 19. He developed several All-Americans, took his 1930 team to the Rose Bowl, and was instrumental in establishing the East-West Shrine Football Game. Hollingbery Fieldhouse was the foundation of the Physical Education, Intramural and Recreation programs at the university. It has been heavily used over the years, especially during the winter months as the primary indoor practice training facility, as a drill field for the ROTC Programs and as an intramural field. In World War II, it was used extensively as a drill field and as physical education exercise facility for the armed services. It is an imposing structure, much less ornate than the adjacent Bohler Gym, almost having the character of an industrial building. Its pitched roof echoes the form of Smith Gym.

A photograph of the sidewalk in front of the Students Book Corporation (Bookie), visible to the right. Students, and perhaps Dean Wegner (the 3rd person from the left), walk on a Fall/Winter day. To the left, row of trees have lost their leaves, early automobiles are present as is the old water tower once located on College Hill. The Students Book Corporation (Bookie) was erected in 1923 at a cost of $29,185. Financed by the Associated Students, the original wood framed building with exterior brick stood in the site of the present Bookie. In addition to textbooks, the Bookie also contained the campus coffee shop. Inside a long soda fountain with levers provided students with fountain drinks, ice cream, coffee; and a dozed high-backed booths places to sit. In 1954, the original structure was razed and a new Bookie was build for $348,600, again financed by the Associated Students.

Female students dressed in white, dance around poles in front of Old Science Hall. Seated viewers watch the performance; a row of cars is parked in front of Old Science Hall. Old Science Hall, WSU building #33, was designed by G. W. Bullard (also the architect of Ferry Hall) and built in 1899 at a cost of $60,000. Old Science Hall housed the botany and zoology laboratories, and a veterinary operating room also used for livestock judging competitions. When Old Science Hall's functions were taken over by New Science Hall in the 1930s, it served for a time as the Arts building and is currently occupied by the Edward R. Murrow School of Communication.
Bohler Gym Construction January 25, 1927
Campus buildings--Washington (State)--Pullman Bohler Gym--Washington (State)--Pullman Gymnasiums--Washington (State)-Pullman Building construction--Washington (State)--Pullman
A photograph taken during the initial construction of Bohler Gym. There is little activity on the site, most of the materials are covered in snow. College Hill is clearly visible in the background. Named for Fred Bohler, the nationally known WSU Coach and Director of Athletics who devoted forty-two years to physical education and sports at WSU. Bohler gym has played a significant role in the history of Cougar sports. Housing a basketball court, swimming pool handball courts and offices, it still has an important role in WSU athletics. This massive red brick building is ornamented with terra cotta and cut stone. The Renaissance Revival windows surrounded with alternating plain and broken pediments are surprisingly opulent. The original entrance with sculptural decoration faced west. The architect, Stanley Smith, was the second University architect. Between 1924 and 1947, he completed fourteen major buildings at WSU. Bohler was the first of the three athletics buildings he built on the north side of the campus including Hollingbery Fieldhouse, and Smith Gym.

Campus buildings--Washington (State)--Pullman Architectural drawings--Washington (State)--Pullman Preusse, Herman Thompson Hall Administration Building
A drawing of the proposed Administration Building by Herman Preusse, later contemptuously dubbed by President Bryan "the Castle." In 1892, the total fund for building at WSU was $60,000, yet the projected expense of Preusse's design was over $300,000. The Board of Regents rejected the proposal and instructed Preusse to design a small classroom (the future old College Hall) for under $10,000.
A view looking East of Thompson Hall, Washington State University's first Administration building. Thompson Hall is the oldest extant building on campus, designed by noted Seattle architect, James Stephen and his Chicago trained partner, Timotheus Josenhans. It is prominently sited and immediately identifiable by its two large towers, one truncated and one with conical roof. The romantic Victorian Romanesque character of the building is further enhanced by rich variety of windows and entryways and the use of rock-faced granite (quarried near Spokane) for its contrasting trim.

Campus buildings--Washington (State)--Pullman Carpenter Hall--Washington (State)--Pullman Weaver, Rudolf
A view of the south-west facade of Carpenter Hall, WSU Building #20. Carpenter Hall was one of seven buildings designed by the first University architect and first chair of the Architecture Department, Rudolph Weaver. As a cost-saving measure, it was planned as a twin to Wilson Hall, but because of wartime building restrictions, neither was completed until 1926. First known as Mechanic Arts building, it was named in 1949 after H. V. Carpenter, the first dean of the College of Mechanic Arts and Engineering. A grand entry at second floor level as at Wilson Hall was planned but never executed. Presumably, the steep slope to the west and its orientation way from the rest of the campus made it impractical. The structure contains Georgian and Classic Revival styles. This image predates the construction of Spokane St.
