13. Ferry Hall, ca. 1910 A view of the front facade of Ferry Hall, WSU Building #8. A large tree is visible to the left of the hall, as are dirt roads, trashcans, and a fire hydrant in the foreground. Built in 1892, Ferry Hall was the first large building to be constructed on campus. Designed to be a dorm, it housed men and women on separate floors. In 1897, there was a kitchen fire that got out of control and the building burned down. Another building was constructed in the same place two years later designed by G. W. Bullard. The new building with its Georgian facade would keep the name (sometimes called New Ferry Hall) and also serve as a dorm. The building remained until the mid 70's, when it was taken down. A last artifact of Ferry Hall still exists in the form of the Gazebo next to Murrow Hall, which was the old bell tower.

9. College Farm, ca. 1900
10. College Barn and Stock Pavilion (1913) This College Barn (later known as the Horse Barn) was located east of the Gymnasium, south-east of Rogers Field. It was razed in 1946 to allow Stadium Way to push through. Due to its similarity in shape (two wings were added to the south of the Horse Barn in 1909), the Horse Barn is often photographically confused with the Cattle Barn, which was located several blocks to the east and eventually became the Lewis Alumni Center. This card is postmarked 1913, but the presence of the Livestock Pavilion and the lack of wings on the back of the Horse Barn dated this image as between 1904 and 1909.
