Horticulture Service Building / Civil Engineering Surveying / Surveying Building

The Surveying Building began its multipurpose life as the Horticulture Service Building in 1905. Designed by S. J. Temple and James White [1] and built for a cost of around $30,000, it featured 9,400 square feet [2] and was located on the Horticulture Grounds, surrounded by an iron fence. [3] In 1923 it was remodeled as a surveying lab [4] and served as the Civil Engineering Surveying Building [5] and later was renamed simply as the Surveying Building when the Civil Engineering Department moved into their present quarters in Newmark.
