Named For: Orrin H. Ingram, of Eau Claire, Wisconsin lumberman, trustee and benefactor of the College.

Location: On the brow of the "Hill," south of East Hall.

Date of Construction: 1900. Open for classes in 1901.

Present and Former Uses: Intended as a science classroom building, Ingram became a multipurpose building, also containing recitation rooms, laboratories, faculty offices, the college library and a carpenter shop. When Lane Library was finished in 1931 and the library was moved from Ingram, the space was converted into offices and classrooms.

Remarks: Ingram was razed in two sections. The east end was razed in Spring 1968. (The exposed side became a favorite site for campus graffiti.) In 1969, the rest of Ingram was demolished.
