President Welch's Barn, 1874-1905.
President Welch, utilizing his personal funds, built the President's Barn in 1874. Use of the barn is not recorded. It was most likely a stable and coach house. The building was used only a short time by the President and in 1878 was converted to a dissecting room for the study of anatomy and pathology by veterinary students. It was later moved and used as storage for University grounds maintenance equipment and as storage for the Department of Domestic Economy.
