A view looking West after the fire that destroyed original Ferry Hall, WSU Building #8. A crowd -- many in cadet uniforms -- stands in the foreground in front of the fire ravaged structure. The city of Pullman is in the background; only a few homes and farms are present. In 1897 a fire starting in the kitchen -- located on the ground floor to the right-- burned out of control. Built in 1892, Ferry Hall was the first large building to be constructed on campus. Designed by H. Preusse to be a dormitory, it housed men and women on separate floors.
