The campus is devoid of any landscaping; a fire hydrant (to the left), power lines and the roof of a shack are visible to the right. The shack, torn down ca. 1910, was used variously as a gym, veterinary barn, and steam plant. Built in 1892, Ferry Hall was the first large building to be constructed on campus. Designed by H. Preusse to be a dormitory, it housed men and women on separate floors. In 1897, there was a kitchen fire, which got out of control and the building burned down.plain2019-05-09T16:51:20-07:00Is found in PC 149, MASC Negative Files http://libraries.wsu.edu/masc/finders/pc149.htm at Washington State University Libraries' Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC) http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascpc149b4n83-051ImageCampus buildings--Washington (State)--Pullman; Dormitories--Washington (State)--Pullman; Ferry Hall (Old)1893United States--Washington (State)--Whitman County--Pullmanark:/80444/xv64932Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, Washington State University Libraries: http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascNo known copyright.
