Historical context
The Seed House building was constructed prior to 1889, and was the first agriculture building on campus. It was originally used by the Experiment Station. Prior to 1924 the College of Agriculture utilized the space for recitation rooms and laboratories. During the 1890's and early 1900's the building served a dual purpose as a location for both academics and social events such as dances. Later the building became home to the University Museum. Currently it is occupied by Entomology Plant Pathology and Weed Science (E.P.P.W.S.) and is used for Nematology and related work.
