Demolition of Shepherd Hall Will Begin at End of Month

Demolition of Shepherd Hall will begin toward the end of this month, James Biggar '13, manager of University real estate and caretaking, disclosed yesterday. No new construction is expected to occupy the ground, Biggar said; the University Intends to cultivate it as a grass plot.

Although Shepherd Hall was never actually condemned by the municipal authorities according to Biggar, he stated that it was in such poor shape that an unrealistic amount of renovation would have been necessary to put it in a permanently usable condition, and that reconstruction would not have been worthwhile.
