Help with dorms

[cajunhawk]

The Conference Center has to be the last bastion of the old dorms. Stokes is gone. Voorhies & McCullogh both gone. Denbo & Bancroft gone. Baker-Huger gone. Most of the girl dorms around the mini-quad are all new. Anyone remember the name of the old UP dorm on Boucher? When my brother lived there it was a total ____ hole...as was the second floor of the International Student Office where I lived from 2001 to 2005.

From what I see, there are only two dorms that have not been changed in the last few years: Harris Hall (which was and remains a female only dorm) and the CC.

Randolph was not demolished but was re-purposed into some kind of activity center, I believe. I believe that used to be a girls only dorm too, IIRC. Also unchanged was Cajun Village.

Everything else has been demolished and replaced, unless someone knows of another one that was not.

Harris is the one on the corner of Boucher and McKinley?

Yep...it has the corner front entry like Burke-Hawthorne, and that new Rose Garden dorms mimic. Randolph is on Hebrard Blvd, across from Declouet.

facing Rex??

Yeah maybe E Lewis.

So, Voorhies Hall was the dorm closest to Johnston, where the day care center is now.....and McCullough was near the park, in between Caffery and Roy......the three were demolished to build legacy park. Right? Or was McCullough the one near Johnston? I always got those two confused.

McCullough was by the park.

The oldest were Roy and Caffery. McCollough stood between them. Both were suites with a bath for four rooms two facing Rex two facing the back.

They were at the corner of Girard Park and Lewis Street. Roy and Caffery were twins. The had jack up slabs for the floors. The floor slabs along with the roof were constructed on the ground and the slabs were jacked up into position. The roof slab was constructed first and the first floor slab was last. They were unusual and ugly buildings to say the least.

Voorhies and McCollough were imploded on a Saturday morning on the same day that one of the space shuttles had a failed re-entry and burned up.

Oh, I've got a clear memory. Just couldn't remember street names.

I was on the balcony (or terrace?) at Fletcher Hall for that demolition. Was a sight to see. Had a buddy of mine who taped it and put Beautiful Disaster by 311 as the music playing while it happened.

wasn't Voories the high rise that the elevator never worked correctly.
One of the great things about Stokes was I think I saw my floor advisor once in the full year that I lived there
