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.plain2018-09-11T18:58:38+00:00Is found in PC 31, Myron Huckle Photographs of WSU: http://libraries.wsu.edu/masc/finders/pc31.htm at Washington State University Libraries' Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC) http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascpc31b2s7nfieldh19290928; pc149b1n70-165ImageCampus buildings--Washington (State)--Pullman; Gymnasiums--Washington (State)--Pullman; Building construction--Washington (State)--Pullman; Fieldhouse09/28/1929ark:/80444/xv26689Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, Washington State University Libraries: http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascUnited States--Washington (State)--Whitman County--PullmanNo known copyright.
