View looking east of the Livestock Pavilion, with Main Barn and farm building in background. Winter scene.
Bio/Historical Note: The Livestock Pavilion, one of the five original campus buildings, was designed by Brown and Vallance and constructed between 1910-1912. Built of red brick, slate and translucent glass panels (some of which could be opened for ventilation), it included a large show arena with seating. The Pavilion had a slaughter room and cold storage for the butchery courses. It was demolished in 1986.
Looking northwest at the Main Barn and a livestock barn with the feed (grain) elevator in background. Wood and stone fences in foreground, with two cows in one of the yards.
