History
The Texas Technological College Dairy Barn on the Texas Tech campus was constructed in 1926-27 as a teaching facility for the college's dairy program. Principal architect Wyatt C. Hedrick designed it as an Arts and Crafts bungalow-style barn, a marked departure from the Spanish Renaissance Revival architecture of the central campus. Damaged by fire in 1930 but repaired, it served until 1966 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
