            This small two story brick structure was barely more than a workshop.  Built in 1882, it had a foundry, forge shop, engine room, and machine shop. [72]  Because it became overcrowded shortly after it opened, a small wooden addition was added.  The building remained on that location until 1887 until it was removed for an addition to the Engineering Laboratory.[72]
