A New Home – 1893

With “The University” no longer in existence, construction started on Swallow Hall (then called The Museum, Zoological/Geological Building, School of Business and Commerce) in 1893 on designs planned in 1892. The building was named after George Clinton Swallow, again, the first professor of Geology, Chemistry and Agriculture as well as the first Dean of the College of Agriculture. On the outside of the building were and are still two plate tags, one for Geology and one for Geography, who then worked together as a combined department.
