Old conference Center photos

It was originally calle Agnes Edwards and it housed women. It was felt that pretty rich girls could only live there. It also housed the Soroities, before they were allowed to have a house off campus.
It had a indoor pool, caferteria for the elite. It was a place to meet good looking women.

I remember the pool. After graduation when working offshore in drilling I had to take a water survival every year or so. McMillan used to teach water survival courses at the pool before they moved out by the airport lake.

Does anyone have any photos of conference center when it used to be a hotel?

Or any information at all? Just really curious of the history of the building i'm living in.

it was called AGNES EDWARDS DORM, you probablay can go to the Library in the archives, also, start with the 1966 or 1967 year book.

Is the pool gone now? I used to have swim team practice in that pool back in the late 60's. 5:30 in the morning before school. And the teacher wondered why my eyes were bloodshot! :<)

The pool is still there, but it's quite obvious it hasn't had any human interaction in years. The pool's drained, but it's all locked up. You can still see inside of it off of Smith St.
