The steam-tunnel repairs on the front lawn of Watson Library overlap the site of the first Snow Hall, the natural history building that opened in 1886. By the 1920s, the classroom and lab facility had deteriorated so badly that its stone walls had "quivering tendencies" in high winds, among other failings. New Snow Hall opened in 1930, and the old building was demolished. Its stone was saved and recycled to face the Military Science Building, completed in 1943. For more, visit www.buildings.ku.edu.
