3. Science [Abelson] Hall, construction, ca. 1934 A view looking west during the initial construction of Science Hall, WSU Building #32. Steel supports are visible for the first floor. In the foreground are a series of greenhouses, now replaced by Todd Hall. In the left portion, next to the construction zone, is the newly finished Fulmer Hall. To the right is Ad Annex. A portion of College Hall is also evident at the far right. A smokestack is visible as is the cupola of Ferry Hall with the snow covered hills of Pullman in the back ground. Automobiles, construction materials, and a lifting tower are also present. Known as New Science until 1947, Science Hall was designed by Rigg and Vantyne at a cost of $270,000.
4. Science [Abelson] Hall, construction, July 31, 1935 A view of Science Hall, WSU Building #32, several months into construction. The concrete frame of the structure is nearly complete. A pile of building debris is visible. The exterior brick and windows are still not present. In the foreground are a series of greenhouses, now replaced by Todd Hall. In the left portion, next to the construction zone, is the newly finished Fulmer Hall. To the right is Ad Annex.
