| dc.description | The Chemistry and Veterinary Building featured a progression of sections, one behind the other, with three different lengths. The facade, or first section, featured a portico, or covered entryway that sticks out from the rest of the building. Six, two-story Ionic columns supported a pediment, or triangular feature. Pairs of columns on the first floor between the larger columns supported a second-story porch.
Domed corner buildings on either side of the portico gave another dimension to the building. The longest and last section featured a raised gazebo structure on the roof.
According to a November 1997 Texas Aggie magazine article, the yellow-bricked building – the campus norm was red bricks – featured an early version of an air-conditioning system, but without temperature-regulating capabilities. Cushing Library was built on the same site in 1930 after the Chemistry and Veterinary Building was demolished.

| dc.description.abstract | This building was built in 1902 for $31,000 and was demolished in 1929. The next year the Cushing Memorial Library was built on this site. An excerpt from the writings of the Class of 1906 describes this historic building in the following manner,…
"…During the fall term, after our initiation into the mysteries of college life, the new Chemical-Veterinary Building was completed, and was occupied at the beginning of 1903. This is a substantial two-story brick building, one-half of which is occupied by the Department of Chemistry and the other by the Department of Veterinary Science. It contains the offices of the two departments, together with four lecture rooms, four student laboratories, two private laboratories for professors, the laboratory of the State Chemist, an assay room, a dissecting room, store rooms, balance rooms, a geological museum and the museum of the diseases of animals. It is one of the handsomest and most useful building on the campus. " [Long Horn, Student Yearbook, Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. 1906. pg.36.] | en |
