Women’s Athletic Building |

The Women’s Athletic Building was erected in 1928. For years, women’s athletic activities had been centered at uneven and hilly Palmer Field. It was determined to level the field and build a field house on the south end. The building housed an equipment room, four-lane bowling alley, rifle range, 10 golf cages and more. It was demolished circa 1974-75 to make way for the Central Campus Recreation Building. — Photo courtesy Bentley Historical Library.
