| Commentaires : | The Ontario Agricultural College: In 1873, the provincial government purchased the F.W. Stone farm on Dundas Street for the School of Agriculture and Experimental Farms, to improve agricultural production and standards. Many farmers were skeptical and so, prior to 1900, enrollment was low. In 1880, under the initiative of William Johnston (principal 1874-1879) and James Mills (principal 1879-1880), the school became affiliated with the University of Toronto, allowing students to receive a Bachelor of Science of Agriculture degree. It was at this time that the school was renamed the Ontario Agriculture School. During the years before 1927, many new buildings were added and additional land was purchased to provide a total of 717 acres. Johnston Hall: The first building was called the Main Building and was an enlargement of the home of F.W. Stone, called Moreton Lodge (the centre section of the building). This building was mainly used as a residence and administration building. It was demolished about 1929 but the portico (from Moreton Lodge) was salvaged and relocated on campus where it remains today. It was simply called the "Main Building" at this time. In 1932 the "Administration Building", as it was now called, was opened. It was built at the same site and was similar in appearance. It was also used as a residence and administration building. In 1964, when the school's three colleges (O.A.C., O.V.C, and Macdonald Institute) amalgamated to form University of Guelph, many campus buildings were renamed after influential figures. It was at this time that the building was renamed Johnston Hall. The original building was an example of Second Empire architecture (1855-1885) which was the high style of the Victorian era and commonly used for public buildings. Creelman Hall was opened 1914 on the site of the old stone house and was used as a dining hall. |
