Dean of Agriculture residence

The Division of Agriculture was established at SDSU in 1924. Prior to that there were no Deans of Agriculture. The Deans were provided with a residence which was located on Medary Ave. The house in which the Deans resided was severely damaged by water in 2001 and it was no longer cost effective to continue upkeep, resulting in the demolition of the house at the end of 2002.
