 The basement once held a bowling alley and a swimming pool.Following renovations in 1927, where the interior was re-faced with brick and the swimming pool was expanded, the building was supposed to have been turned into a memorial hall for President James D. Moffat, but those plans never materialized.By 1938, the building was unable to host any intercollegiate athletic events, and during World War II, it was used as the Army Administration School.
