Old College (Northwestern University)
Old College was the first building constructed at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and was completed in 1855.
==Construction and history==
The cornerstone of the building was laid on June 15, 1855, at what is now the corner of Hinman and Davis streets in Evanston. The three-story frame building was completed by the start of the University's first classes on November 5 of that year at a total cost of $5,937.〔Old College at (Northwestern University Archives )〕 From its completion, Old College was home to all activities of the new university and originally housed a chapel, classrooms, and rooms for two literary societies. Attic lofts also served as dorm rooms for several of students.〔Northwestern University: A History, 1855-1905 By Arthur Herbert Wilde, p 165(available in full text at (Google Book Search ) )〕 In 1856, the Board of Trustees met in Old College and appointed a Committee on Library, officially establishing Northwestern's first library in Old College. This remained the main library on campus until the construction of University Hall.〔(History of Northwestern's Libraries )〕
The building was only meant to be temporary, and the first permanent building on campus, University Hall, was completed in 1869. University Hall then became the principal building on campus, and the new building overtook many of the functions of Old College. In 1871, Old College was moved to a location near the present-day Fisk Hall, and a new wing was added to the structure. Old College was moved again in 1899 to the present-day location of the McCormick-Tribune Center stands, to allow for the construction of Fisk Hall. Despite originally being built as a temporary structure, Old College continued to serve a variety of purposes throughout its history, including housing Northwestern's prep school (later known as the Evanston Academy), a weather observatory for the Department of War in the 1870s, a naval training program during World War I, and the offices of the College of Liberal Arts. When the School of Education was established in 1925-26, Old College became the Education Building.〔
