Wing Hall

Wing Hall is a building on the campus of Cornell University that was built during 1912-1914. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Wing Hall was designed by architect E. B. Green, himself a Cornell alumnus, of Buffalo architectural firm Green & Wicks. Along with Fernow Hall and Caldwell Hall, designed by the same firm, it was funded by a New York State appropriation in 1912. It is a three-story building. Its main entrance is centered in its long elevation, with a central bay projecting slightly from flanking walls. It has a two-story three-bay-wide Ionic-columned portico, with pilasters defining the bays of the third story above. It was built for teaching of animal husbandry, and was located near recently-built university barns, about one-half mile east of the original college buildings. Its NRHP nomination describes that "It combined extensive practical laboratory space with a library 'containing the herd and flock books of different breeds' and an auditorium into which live animals could be brought.
