James W. Reid Centennial Hall (1895)

The original structure of James W. Reid Centennial Hall (RCH) was built in 1895 as the first college classroom and administration building. It is the first building on the college campus and stood virtually alone in this section of Normal Hill for many years. A major fire in December 1917 gutted the building and destroyed a 1905 east wing addition. Only the portion of the building including the tower and front and rear exterior was salvaged when it was rebuilt in 1918. A large addition to the west was constructed in 1918. It reopened and served as a laboratory school until temporary closure of the college in 1951. When the college resumed operation in 1955 the building was used as a library on the main floor, with offices and classrooms on the third floor and in the basement. Following construction of a new library in 1991, the building was completely renovated and brought up to current earthquake standards.
