Memorial Hall Formerly Was College Dining Hall

Maids Lived in Frame House With Massive Chimney

When Memorial Hall was a dining hall rather than just a place for the Freshmen to register and the band to practice, the goodies who served the food lived in a small wooden house between the present University Press and the Laboratory of Geographical Exploration.

This building has now been torn down along with a massive 75 foot chimney which for many years stood beside it. The chimney came from the old kitchens in Randall Hall, which was built originally as a subsidiary eating place, later made the college library, and which is now the University Press.
