It was built in 1912-14 to designs by Green & Wicks of Buffalo.","why_significant":"The nomination argues for both historical and architectural importance. The building is named for Henry H. Wing, who developed Cornell's animal husbandry and dairy programs. It was designed by the noted Buffalo firm Green & Wicks, and its Neoclassical form with an Ionic portico gave it a strong presence overlooking the Alumni Fields and echoed Bailey Hall.","narrative":"Wing Hall is a brick classroom and laboratory building on the Cornell University campus in Ithaca, built in 1912-14 as the Animal Husbandry Building. The Buffalo firm Green & Wicks designed it, and the Durolithic Company of Buffalo built it. It is named for Henry H. Wing, who developed the university's animal husbandry and dairy programs and headed the department from 1903 to 1928. The building rises three stories on a high basement, with a slate hipped roof and dormers. Its walls are rough-textured buff tapestry brick with limestone trim, and the west facade has a central Ionic portico with coupled columns. Arts and Crafts details such as the brick and the shaped rafters sit within a formal Neoclassical design. It was the College of Agriculture's most distant major instructional building, placed near the college barns and facing the Alumni Fields. Alterations include a subdivided auditorium and a modern rear addition. It still serves as classrooms, offices and laboratories.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect: Green & Wicks, Buffalo; Builder: Durolithic Company, Buffalo","architectural_style":"Neoclassical, with Arts and Crafts features","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used for classrooms, offices and laboratories; condition listed as fair, with no known threats.
