SAY I SAW IT IN THE TIMES
By David Arledge
On April 12, 1971* Brevard
College signed into effect a
contract with Brummett and
Waddell, Inc. for the destruc
tion of the old Classroom build
ing.
The building was built in 1914
for Brevard Institute and was
first named Spencer Hall in
honor of Mrs. J. S. Spencer, a
benefactor of the school. Lat
er in 1933 when Brevard Col
lege opened, the building
housed the library, Chapel, ad
ministration offices and class
rooms. During this time it was
commonly referred to as the
administration huilding.
In 1949 it was officially re
named Dunham hall as a trib
ute to H; A. Dunham, member
of the board of trustees.
Three years later in 1950 a
fjre severely damaged the in
terior, and for one semester
all activities were continued
elsewhere while it was rebuilt.
In 1957 with the completion
of the present Dunham music
building its name was again
changed, this time to the class
room building.
Finally jn the Fall of 1969
with the opening of the Mc
Larty - Goodson Building it
was abandoned.
There has been no official
date set for the completion of
the work; however, on Satur
day and Sunday afternoons sev
eral students voluntarily help
ed hurry the project along. On
Saturday students were allowed
to stand outside and break
glass to their hearts’ content.
Later on Sunday afternoon
some students returned and at
tempted to demolish the inter
ior. They nearly succeeded.
The administration is grate
ful fdr the students’ efforts' in
trying to save the school mon
ey, but they would like to ask
that from now on the contrac
tors he allowed to finish the
job so as to avoid possibly in
jury to amateur wreckers.
