First Horse Barn (1856 — c. 1912)

First horse barn, circa 1910, by which time it was a carpentry shop. Photo Credit: Beal, p.18.

Alongside the hallowed halls of College Hall and Saints' Rest, this modest, 28-by-40-foot barn was constructed in 1856 of the same locally produced bricks. It stabled the college's horses until a much larger "New" Horse Barn was completed in 1872, after which it was used as a carpentry shop. Being of strictly utilitarian duty, records of its history are understandably sketchy.* It might have been moved more than once, and possibly torn down circa 1912. Although Beal does not mention its demolition, it appears on a campus map of 1910-11, but not on Newman's map of 1913.[Beal, pp.18, 269; Lautner, p.102; also Newman.]
