My summer ’75 dorm was at north gate. Not by the Academic building.
I don’t remember the name of dorm. It was only a few weeks. But I do remember
the ceiling fan.

Looking at maps, I think Milner and Legget were the ancient dorms. Bolton
was always a classroom/office building, my error.
Walton is not the type I meant. Walton has several ground floor level doors
that lead to the stairs for all four floors. Those doors are 40-50 feet
apart. Walton has windows front and rear, and no interior air well.

Milner and Leget had that odd, turn-of-the-last century building style, where
the lowest floor was a half basement, and the main floor was up a set of half
stairs. It had three doors together, and I think each door lead to one of
the top three floors. The lower level had a set of doors under the stairs.
There were two (I think) interior air wells, meant to provide ventilation.
I thought that both had been gutted and converted to offices. Apparently,
Milner was, but Legett is a dorm, though, judging by the photos, it was
probably gutted and rebuilt, too.
