This building stood on the campus of Alfred University. Completed in 1882 during the presidency of Jonathan Allen, it was a memorial to his predecessor as president of Alfred University, William C. Kenyon. The foundations were four feet thick and set in Allegany County hard pan. The walls were of thick stone, faced with brick. The corner trim, window caps, and window sills were of blue sandstone from a quarry in nearby Canisteo. It originally housed the departments of industrial mechanics, history and political science, natural history, and theology, as well as the library and a reading room. During World War II, the observation tower on the roof served as an aircraft spotter’s station. The building was razed in 1958 to make room for Rogers Campus Center
