Description

The post office, supply store and cafeteria building was built on University Boulevard in 1925 with funds from the Million Dollar Campaign. During that time, it housed a soda fountain, a favorite campus gathering place. After World War II the third floor was used for several years as a dorm for male students. The building was remodeled in 1954 for the Education Library. In 1975 it was named in honor of John Rankin McLure, Dean of the College of Education, 1942-1959.
