The @Cal campus in 1888: North Hall, the Mechanics Arts Building with a small machine shop next to it (which later became the Radiation Laboratory), Bacon Hall, South Hall and old Harmon Gymnasium (behind the trees). Only South Hall still stands.

On May 16, 1917, a farewell ceremony was held for North Hall, built in 1873 as the 2nd building on @Cal's campus. Its destruction was formally begun when the banister of front steps was sent crashing to the ground. The crowd then moved to the dedication of the new Wheeler Hall.
