Linnaean Hall built in 1846 was the second oldest building on campus. It was designed by Herman Haupt, Professor of Mathematics (later in life a Civil War General in charge of all U. S. Military railroads), and built with the assistance of student labor. The building was used by the Linnaean Association to house its Museum and Library as well as for meetings of the Association. The ground floor room was used as a classroom for the Preparatory Department, and in 1869 began to be used as a science laboratory. In 1890 the building was converted into a gymnasium, and remained in that use through 1927. After the completion of Plank Gym, Linnaean Hall "served no practical use aside from being used as a general repository and dumping ground." The building was demolished in the Spring of 1942. Photographer unknown. (Image #2195)

Glatfelter Hall then called the New Recitation Building was completed in 1889. Renamed Glatfelter Hall by the trustees in 1912, the building looks little changed today. Transportation, however, was slightly different in the 1890's. (Image #2492)
