These OAC women are standing outside the front entrance to the college's first Mechanical Hall. Part of one of the floors of this building was used as a gymnasium.
Blacksmithing courses were offered at OAC for "those who desire to learn how to make simple repairs and improvements about the farm and shop" (1909-10 catalog).
This greenhouse complex was part of an expansion of college agricultural facilities that began in 1889. Standing on the right is George Coote, instructor in horticulture. The Administration Building (Benton Hall) is in the background.
