Case took the western side and WRU the eastern side. The corner remained vacant for over a decade. In the more than 123 years of University ownership, only two buildings have occupied the site: Henry R. Hatch Library (1895-1956) and Newton D. Baker Memorial Building (1957-2004).
This 1885 map of the Case and Adelbert campuses shows the empty corner where Hatch Library and Baker Building would later stand. This 1885 map of the Case and Adelbert campuses shows the empty corner where Hatch Library and Baker Building would later stand.
