Date
1910~
Description
Six men wearing dark suits and hats sit in an open carriage pulled by two horses in front of 'New ' Ferry Hall , WSU building #8 . A dog sits behind the back row seat , facing the camera . Built in 1892 , Ferry Hall was the first large building to be constructed on campus . Designed to be a dorm , it initially housed men and women on separate floors . In 1897 , there was a kitchen fire which got out of control , and the building burned down . Another building , seen here, was constructed in the same place two years later , designed by G . W . Bullard . The new building with its Georgian facade would keep the name (sometimes called New Ferry Hall) and also serve as a dorm . The building remained until the mid 70s , when it was taken down . A last artifact of Ferry Hall still exists in the form of the Gazebo , which was the old bell tower . For many years the Gazebo sat next to Murrow Hall , but it was eventually moved out northeast of the Alumni Centre .
