Boone Hall

My tour of campus continues on to Boone Hall. It was built in 1917 and is named Richard Boone who was the Ninth President of the University. It is one of the buildings that I seemed to remember was showing signs of age.

Originally it was the Administration Building and was built on the land that used to house the Conservatory. Since Pease Auditorium was completed, the Conservatory was torn down.

After Pierce Hall was complete and the administration moved there, the building was used by the College of Education until 1999 when they moved to Porter Hall. Now it houses a bunch of other programs.
