The Amherst Student of November 26, 1932, reports that the College
erected a new building to house its shops, the Service Building, located next
to the railroad tracks. According to the article, the building was to be
80 x 42 feet in dimension, 2 stories tall, and in "the same general style as
Converse Library," says the paper. |

The $30,000 cost was covered
by the Dwight Morrow fund (Archives & Special Collections, Buildings
& Grounds Collection, box 16, folder 29). It was designed by Henry B. Thacher,
with approval by McKim, Mead, and White (King, 322). (Photos taken 12 October 2001 and 1 June 2002).
