Alphabetical List of Buildings and Grounds of Case, WRU, and CWRU
The staff of the University Archives has compiled summaries of information about buildings and grounds used by Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University, 1882-1949. All sources used are in the CWRU Archives and may be consulted in the Archives.
This list is an alphabetical index, arranged by building identifier, to the individual buildings and grounds summaries. The list includes:
| Building Identifiers | Derived from a controlled vocabulary created by the University Archives |
| Formal Names | A name is considered to be the buildings's formal name if: 1) a specific form of name was assigned by the Board of Trustees, or 2) a "namee" was designated, without specifiying the exact form of name, by the Board of Trustees, or 3) a specific form of name was assigned by a senior administrator authorized to do so, or 4) a specific form of name was used in a dedication or similar formal ceremony Although the information contained in the summaries ends in 1949, we've added formal names assigned after 1949, when they could be readily determined. The naming year is included in parentheses. |
| Also Known As | Other names by which the building was known When more than one building was known by the same popular name, the dates of usage are listed in parentheses. |
A chronological index, arranged by use dates, is also available.
Information in the summaries includes:
| People | associated with the buildings, including architects, general contractors, donors, occupants |
| Dates | of significant events, including construction, alterations, demolition, purchase, sale, ceremonies |
| Names | formal and popular |
| Descriptions | images, locations, size, architectural style |
| Uses | functions carried out in the buildings |
| Finances | costs and funding sources |
Information is included only during the time period that a particular building/space was under University control.
Investment properties are not included.
Some information about some buildings is not available.
Unknown data is indicated by a question mark (?).
