Home Economics Building

The Home Economics Building was constructed in 1909 as a combination steam laundry and carpenter shop. A 1916 report refers to the building's two rooms as a laundry room and an engine room. Former boarding school student Mildred Hudson, a student in the late 1920s and early 1930s remembered the building as a home economics classroom, but Mary Wabaunsee, a student circa 1927-1929 and again circa 1932, says it was used as a dormitory while she was there. In the 1930s, it was remodeled for use as a dormitory. Within a few years the building was being used as employees' quarters.
