Buildings (Miscellaneous)

The histories of Centre's main buildings appear in separate entries. Several other buildings on campus have served their purpose and disappeared, leaving only fragmentary evidence of their existence. What little we know is surveyed here.

In 1825 the Board of Trustees authorized the building of twelve dormitories, and the purchase of one double bedstead and one table for each "cottage". Three years later the Trustees approved making a pavement of flagstones in front of the dormitories. At the same meeting they also mention building a springhouse for the Refectory, probably located at the small spring in front of Old Centre. The dormitories were torn down by 1846.
