'''[[Image:FerryHall cupola1.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]'''Ferry Hall was one of the first dormitories on campus. Construction of Old Ferry Hall began in February of 1892, one month after the opening of the college. The building was heated with steam and lighted by electricity. The building was named after Elisha P. Ferry, the first governor of Washington state.  The original Ferry Hall was destroyed by a fire on November 23, 1897 and New Ferry Hall was built on the site.  The building was dismantled in May of 1975. Part of the building still exists on campus in the form of a gazebo that was originally placed at the original location of Ferry Hall near Murrow Hall.  The gazebo was then moved near the Lewis Alumni Centre in 2008 when the grounds outside of Murrow were redone.  To read more about Ferry Hall see “[[Who_Moved_My_Cupola%3F|Who Moved My Cupola?]]”  and “[[A_College_Ghost|A College Ghost]]”.[[Image:Ferryhall11893.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Photo courtesy WSU Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections]][[Image:Ferryhallfire1897-2.jpg|thumb|200px|Photo courtesy WSU Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections]][[Image:Ferry1900.jpg|thumb|200px|Photo courtesy WSU Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections]]
