No. 303: Employees club, 1890, 16,783 square feet. (One of two original buildings. Like most of the buildings from the 19th and early 20th century, it was built in a Queen Anne style and remodeled into a Spanish Pueblo Revival style in the 1930s by architect John Gaw Meem.)

No. 304: Dormitory, 1890, 10,978 square feet. (Also an original building.)

No. 305: Domestic science, 1897, 7,606 square feet. (Originally built as a hospital.)

No. 307: Bakery, 1908, 1,460 square feet. (Supplied school and hospital with bread, cakes and cookies.)

No. 317: Practice cottage, 1909, 5,550 square feet. (This building was constructed largely by students in the carpentry program; originally used as domestic science building, then home economics then as single-teacher housing. The remodeling of the 1930s was never carried out on this building, a dormitory and the three bungalows that follow, making them the only pre-1930s buildings on campus that were never modified.)

BUILDINGS SLATED FOR DEMOLITION

No. 309: Dormitory, 1907, 35,670 square feet. (Originally modeled after the girls' dormitory at the Chama Indian School in Salem, Ore. It was not remodeled in the 1930s because of a lack of funds.)

No. 308: Dining hall, 1908, 16,855 square feet. (Originally the building was brick with a symmetrical facade, a projecting center section and a central staircase that were removed in the remodeling by Meem in the 1930s. Olive Rush and Pueblo artists painted murals here in the 1930s, but most were destroyed in a remodeling in the 1960s.)
