Description
“The original Gilmore Hall was constructed in 1935 and was funded, in part, by the federal Public Works Administration. Gilmore, the agricultural building, was built on the edge of campus, at an angle to face both Hawaiʻi Hall and Farrington Hall between the main campus and the campus farms. The building was distinctive with its green and blue roof tiles, hand-made by pressing clay around the thigh to form arches.”
The New Deal-era facility has since been replaced.
