Cadmus

1837

Built near the site of the present Community House on Church Street, the Cadmus, nicknamed the "Horned Bug," was used for classrooms, a bellroom-office, and dormitory of the principal. In 1844, an addition was built southwest of the Cadmus near West University Street. This later became West Hall. Final disposition of this property is not known.
