To the left is a view of the Barracks Building and its "annex" during construction in 1918. The viewer is looking from Oakland Drive towards Lovell Street. Initially built to house the local Student Army Training Corps. Preparing for duty in World War I, the young men trained and marched on the adjacent athletic fields. |
To the right is a 1940 view of the Normal School
campus from the Lovell Street hillside. West Michigan Avenue and the
Barracks are in the foreground with Prospect Hill rising behind them.
Part of the recently completed Vandercook Hall is visible at the far
right, |

When the Barracks was no longer needed for the SATC,
the Normal School reused it for Home Economics and Manual Arts Classes.
It would remain a "termporary" classroom building until it was razed
in 1948. |
The "annex" continued to be used for
Industrial Education through the 1960's. |
