Before Wurster Hall there was the "Ark" (2nd row)

Photograph, North Gate Hall.  Designed by John Galen Howard, completed in 1906.  The Architecture Department was housed in the "Ark" until the completion of Wurster Hall in 1964.  The darker portion was the first phase of the "Ark" (1906); the second phase (1907) is lighter and steps uphill.
