(I think I have the name right.) It was on the corner of College and Union, just across the street from the old Baker Center. it is now an empty lot and has been since it was torn down, which I gather was 1976. I've never known the why behind this story. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ohiouniversitylibraries/610...

I guess it was cheaper then trying to repurpose it.

It made for a nice street scape as seen here: https://media.library.ohio.edu/digital/collection/archive...

That's the reason I recall hearing. BTW, the original bobkitten mascot lived in Howard. She became a lifelong friend and is profiled in my Mascot, Minister, Man of Steel. With that warm memory in mind, I donated to the creation of the Howard Hall Site park. http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 5  of 5 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'General Ohio University Discussion/Alumni Events' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 378 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 377 Guests 1 Registered User:   BillyTheCat There are no other users looking at this page.
