=Location= Where is this building on campus? What was there before the building was built? At one time the house belonged to Dr. Atherton Ross, where he had his office. Dr. Ross, along with Drs. Pratt, Floyd & Bell were instrumental in establishing Farmington's first hospital, which was in a large house on part of the lot where Mantor library now sits. The house, as I remember it, had a nice big front porch and beautiful "gingerbread" trim. It was painted yellow with white trim and was always kept in tip-top shape. Like so many other buildings that were torn down for UMF buildings, it was in great shape and a shame for the town to lose. ||
