Description
The Public Works Administration paid for a seismograph building on the campus of the University of Utah. It sat next to the old Bureau of Mines building. Both were demolished to make way for the Frederick Albert Sutton building for the College of Mines and Earth Sciences, opened in 2009. (They were located behind the present Sutton Building where the parking garage now stands).
