Then and Now: Whitall Hall Now

Then & Now: Whitall Hall Then

Then & Now: Whitall Hall

Whitall Hall, which once stood next to Gest, cost $5,000 to build in 1896 and originally housed woodworking and machine shops, a drafting studio, and an “electric lighting engine.” A 1929 renovation replaced the shops with classrooms and professors’ offices.

Come back tomorrow to see Whitall Hall “Now.”
