Jollop Slept Here -- Landscape Architecture

The brick structure was completed in 1900 and for nearly 
three decades, served as a two-story, state-of-the-art horse 
barn. Residents included Jollop, a Perchron stallion and 
grand champion at the 1915 World's Fair in San Francisco.

The newly organized landscape architecture department moved 
into the refurbished former barn in 1929. To accommodate 
humans, workers lifted the roof to create space for larger 
windows, added a third floor and removed large doors on the 
west side. However, the barn's cupola survived the redesign.

Landscape architecture departed in 1978 for the new College 
of Design Center.

Still called Landscape Architecture, the facility today is 
home to the English department's Intensive English and 
Orientation Program.
