Since we’re on the subjectof the A.Y.P.E., might as well stick to the U.W. grounds. This Past Post from 1910 shows Denny Hall, which opened in 1895 and is the oldest building still standing at the University. And speaking of A.Y.P.E. buildings, Ben Lukoff mentioned that they are planning on moving Cunningham Hall (originally the Women’s Building). I’m not sure I’m a fan of moving historic buildings like this — it takes away from their permanence. Of course it’s preferable to demolition, but a significant structure like this should stay put. Surely there’s somewhere else to stick a new molecular engineering building. What say you?
