Upon the destruction of the College Chapel by fire in January, 1903, the college offices were moved temporarily to the first floor of the Second Congregational Church, and then to a two-story frame residence at 122 West College Street. This house had come into the possession of the College in September, 1902, at a cost of $4,500. In the rearrangement of the house for office purposes, the rooms on the first floor were assigned for the use of the Treasurer, the Registrar, and the Principal of the Academy; on the second floor there were rooms for the President, the Secretary, and the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. This building was torn down in the spring of 1915, after the completion of the J.D. Cox Administration Building.
