Historic Significance

From NR Nomination:

The Agriculture Quadrangle on the east side of Storrs Road, contains the last institutional architecture in the district. Its most prominent feature is the large wood-framed Dairy Barn (37’ x 371’) with its three tiled silos, built between 1913 and 1920 (Inventory #9; Photograph #15). A somewhat smaller 1922 barn, now used as the Landscaping Building, lies to the east and further back from the road (Inventory # 26). Most of the rest of the buildings in this quadrangle were built after 1950 with the exception of 1915 Farm Machinery Building (Inventory #12) and a small circa 1890 house now used by the university (Inventory #47).
