Milner's last days as a dorm was during our time at A&M.... it was converted to
offices in 1976.
Leggett may have been converted to offices about that time also, but was later
re-purposed back to dorm usage.
"Milner Roaches".... that's great, but it takes second place to Crocker Hall,
who were known as the Cocks. For non-regs, they were pretty red-ass. Their
dorm hump-it went something like, "Crocker Cocks, hard as rocks, best damn dorm
at Northgate".
Poor Crocker doesn't exist anymore.... the Cocks have gone the way of the
Puryear Playboys into Aggie lore.

The residents of Milner had fun with it. As I recall, they called their
intramural teams the Milner Roaches.

Both Leggett and Milner are still standing. After being converted to office
space, Leggett was returned to dormitory status several years ago, and still
serves as a dorm. Milner sits between Leggett and Sbisa, and is an office
building now that houses the Psycological and Brain Sciences Dept of the
College of Liberal Arts. Boy, THAT'S straight out of George Orwell......

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.
