Where the Art Building now stands was once the location of the “Old” Gilmore Hall. Gilmore Hall was once the base of the Agriculture department. On the day when Gilmore Hall was to be demolished, Beatrice Krauss (faculty member and alumna) and her supporters decorated the building with flowers. Krauss later said, “We dressed her up in flowers because we wanted her to go down with dignity.”
