I was recently awarded a scholarship for the Art Barn project and in the letter from Gaylen L. Ashcroft, President of the Cache Valley Historical Society he relates in my award letter:
"I have a great interest in the horse barn. When I was a student at USU, it stabled horses and the cow barn was just west of the horse barn with a corral that occupied the area now occupied by the Taggart Student Center. As I remember, when they removed the cow barn, they planned to demolish the horse barn and actually started with a jackhammer; but the demolition seemed so difficult that they scuttled the idea and decided on a renovation for other uses. It is wonderful that it was saved."
He might be a good contact to get some stories out of.
