Description
A view of the front facade of Ferry Hall , WSU building #8 . A large tree is visible to the left of the hall , as are dirt roads , trashcans , and a fire hydrant in the foreground . Built in 1892 , Ferry Hall was the first large building to be constructed on campus . Designed to be a dorm , it housed men and women on separate floors . In 1897 , there was a kitchen fire that got out of control and the building burned down . Another building 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 70's , when it was taken down . A last artifact of Ferry Hall still exists in the form of the Gazebo next to the Alumni Centre , which was the old bell tower .
