Its downtown location, 7 Rockwell Street, is now occupied by Mall A. The first four years of the School's existence was in the Case family's home on Rockwell Street in downtown Cleveland - often referred to as the Case homestead. Classes were held in the family house, while the chemistry and physics laboratories were on the second floor of the barn. Astronomical observations were made in the back yard where a transit was set up. Because Amasa Stone's gift to move Western Reserve College from Hudson to Cleveland in 1882 also included a provision for the purchase of land in the University Circle area for Case, it was only a matter of time before Case constructed a new college building on its new land and moved in 1885. In 1881 the enrollment was 16 and tuition was $100. In 1884 the enrollment was 39 and tuition was $50.
