first college president's home, South Hall stood on Union Drive, east of where the Memorial Union now stands. President Welch moved into South
Hall during 1869, and an addition was built in 1871. In 1879, the Welches moved to the
Gables, and the Botany and Veterinary Medicine departments moved in. The house was
renovated for use by the Domestic Economy Department in 1880. The house was damaged by
tornado in 1882. Beginning in 1896, the building served as the Music Hall until it was
destroyed by fire in 1912. |
