Biography/History
Pine Manor was a men's cooperative dormitory at Washington State College (later University), built in 1938 for $30,000 in National Youth Administration funds. The building housed 87 men, and was named after its knotty pine interiors. The house was closed by WSU in 1963, and the building renovated for the school's anthropology program. Located on the northeast corner of Spokane and Washington streets, it was torn down in 1998 after which the lot became a gravel parking lot.
Scope and Content
The collection consists of photographs, clippings, and ephemera relating to Pine Manor. The 92 page scrapbook scrapbook is retained in its original wood plank binding and its original order; the cover is approximately 58 x 43 cm., and interior pages are only slightly smaller. Several loose items are in the scrapbook, including a two-page floorplan, several photographs and clippings, and a small banner. A folder beneath the scrapbook contains three added photographs and a 3-page "The History of Pine Manor" text piece.
