+===Lost buildings===
+There is likelihood, however, that building remnants related to the initial periods of
+campus growth (1863-1916) do remain. As will be discussed later, several early
+campus buildings burned. Included among these were the Crouch Barn (1872), plant
+house (1883), South College (1885), Hatch experiment station barn (1891), ridge barn (1894), dairy
+building (1906), and the new dairy barn (1908) (Rand 1933:205-211). In many
+instances, the replacement buildings were built atop or immediately adjacent to the
+original building footprints. It is likely that archaeological remains of original
+buildings exist or, at the very least, evidence of the fires remain.
