Hall of Chemistry
Circa 1900

Pictured here is the first building of the Colorado School of Mines on its present campus, and second overall in the institution's existence.  The Hall of Chemistry's original building (far left) was built in 1880, with Gothic second wing (central portion) built in 1882, and Richardsonian Romanesque third wing (the Executive Building, far right) built in 1890.  The Hall of Chemistry stood across the landscaped oval from the Hall of Engineering until 1958, when it was demolished and replaced by Hill Hall.
