AND SCHOOL OF MINES, UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, MOSCOW, IDAHO.Date: 1911Source Type: PostcardPrinter, Publisher, Photographer: UnknownPostmark: June 10, 1911, Moscow, IdahoCollection: Steven R. ShookRemark: This Administration Building at the University of Idaho replaced the original Administration Building that stood on this site between October 1899 and March 30, 1906; the original Administration Building was destroyed by fire. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.Built at a total cost of $415,769, the building was constructed in four phases. The first phase of construction, which consisted of the entire portion of the building facing east, was completed in 1909 at a cost of $140,000 (paid for with a series of state bonds). The second phase, which cost $75,000 (state appropriation) and was completed in 1912, consisted of the north wing auditorium. The third phase, which cost $90,000 (state appropriation) and was completed in 1920, consisted of the south wing. The final phase, which cost $110,769 (funded by student fees) and was completed in 1936, consisted of an extension of the south wing to house the university library.The Tudor Gothic structure was designed by Boise architect J. E. Tourtellotte. It is constructed with a concrete base, red brick, and buff colored Boise sandstone trim. Total floor area of the structure is 109,824 square feet.The first production to take place in the auditorium was Priscilla, a comic opera.This structure is still [2014] utilized as the administrative headquarters for the university.The School of Mines, visible in the distance on the left side of this image, was also referred to as the Engineering Building and was located about one block east-southeast of the Administration Building. The building no longer exists and Niccolls Hall, also referred to as the Home Economics Building, now [2014] stands on the site.Construction of the Gothic designed building was initiated in 1901 and was completed in 1902 at a total cost of $28,000, with funding for the construction provided by the state. The brick building consisted of a basement and three floors. The footprint of the building was 60-feet by 108-feet, and total floor area was 20,982 square feet.The structure was razed in 1951 due to safety and building code compliance issues.The statue visible at the far left in this image depicts a solider standing at ease and looking toward the Moscow Mountain Range. Erected in 1899, it is a memorial to those students at the University of Idaho that served in the Spanish-American War. The largest contributor to the statue was Joseph P. Blanton, who was, at that time of the statue's erection, president of the university. In particular, the statue honors Paul Draper, of Mesa, Washington, and Ole Gabriel Hagberg, of Christiana, Norway, both of whom died while serving the country during the war. Second Lieutenant Draper drowned in the Philippines while attempting to save some of his men from a swollen jungle stream. Sergeant Hagberg died of typhoid fever in a hospital in Manila, Philippines.Copyright 2014. Some rights reserved.
