49. Library, Administration Building (Thompson Hall), 1900s Prior to the 1909 construction of the campus's first designated library building (Bryan Hall, which was both library and auditorium), the Washington State College (later Washington State University)'s library was located in the top level of the Administration building, today known as Thompson Hall. When the Administration Building was built in 1894, the library moved into second floor quarters. In 1899, when the Science Building (later Murrow Hall) was built, the campus museum moved out of the upper floor of the Administration Building and into Science, and the library moved to that fourth floor location (seen here).

82. Thompson Hall, 1936 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.
