Remodel Bid

Here is a 3 page bid that Anderson Lumber (now Stock Building Products) did for the remodel of the barn. As you can see there was extensive additions that changed the inside. This could be important for historic preservation.

















 
 
 I have also found some letters from Dr. Twain Tippets, Chair of the Dept of Fina Arts and Dr. Groutage to President Chase requesting materials to make the Art Barn the a ceramic hub on campus as well as the materials, with estimates to do so. There is also a letter from the Board of Trustees to President Chase (all these are c. 1959) okaying the purchases and remodel. Another aside apparently there was no natural gas in Logan at the time so the kilns were heated through butane.

  1. I met Twain Tippetts a few years back. He has died, but his wife is still living in Logan across from Hillcrest School, and might be good to contact for stories or names.
