Description
1 map: 14 x 19 cm.<br> A small, footprint map of the State College of Washington campus. The map does not include street names, but all buildings are identified.<br>Many of the periphery buildings on this map were a product of the upswing in the national economy during 1928 and early 1929. A number of buildings were constructed at this time, including the large and important addition of a hospital (see to the left of the title.) Troy Hall, which was built in 1926 and housed the dairy industry department, was the last substantial building before this surge. A budget crisis in the 1930s resulted in little construction being undertaken. In fact, in 1933-34, both Ferry Hall (men's) and Steven's Hall (women's) dormitories were closed down. Of the students that continued in their studies, many of the men lived in makeshift shacks, dotted throughout campus and in town, or wherever unoccupied land was available.
