36. Bohler Gym (1927)
37. Bohler Gym, construction, August 25, 1927 A photograph taken during the construction of Bohler Gym. The seats for the gymnasium are partially complete. 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.
