The Hog Barn and Feeding House, circa 1916. This modest structure, also designed by Bennes, was built in 1916. It contained 29 pens and the three-story feeding house. The barn was located on the site of the current Crop Science Building and was used until a new hog barn was built in 1936/37.
The Octagonal Barn, 1903. The College's first barn, built in 1889, was this octagonal structure. The addition was built in 1892. It served as the heart of the College's 180-acre farm until 1909, when construction of a new barn was completed. In its later years, the Octagonal Barn served the College as a horse barn until it burned in September 1924.
Second Dairy Barn, ca. 1939. A new dairy barn was built in 1937/38 as a WPA project to replace the 1908/09 barn. This massive structure was located just south of Harrison Blvd. between 35th and 53rd Streets, on the dairy program's current site. The barn burned on February 7, 1967, attracting hundreds of onlookers.
