Ferris Booth Hall
Revision as of 01:21, 20 March 2007 by Absentminded (talk | contribs)
The predecessor to Alfred Lerner Hall, Ferris Booth Hall boasted magnificent campus views, a grand entry hall staircase, six-lane bowling alley, fifty-foot rifle range, billiards room, and in the Hewitt Lounge, an open-sided fireplace. Completed in 1960 from a design by Shreve, Lamb and Harmon Associates, it was razed in 1996.
Ferris Booth also featured an outdoor terrace that hosted numerous bands. The Grateful Dead played Ferris Booth following the 1968 Strike.
Lerner Hall has none of these amenities. Instead it has ramps.
