Originally designed as a laboratory for horticulturist Liberty Hyde Bailey in 1888, it housed the horticulture department until 1924, when the new horticulture building, now known as Old Horticulture, opened.
It was visited by many prominent people of the era, such as Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Edison, Liberty Hyde Bailey, Theodore Luqueer Mead, and Dr. David Fairchild.
