This Place Matters — King Hall — April 16, 2009

The HP Program and Preservation Eastern decided to highlight a place on campus for the National Trust’s grass roots campaign. King Hall is a great Art Deco / New Deal building that’s under-utilized and deemed at-risk.  Its twin, Goodison Hall, was torn down over a decade ago. Thanks to everyone who came out. Not only PE members, but faculty, alumni, and our friends from the Office of Research and Development stopped by.
