The Delta Building, the useful but unsightly frame structure that has occupied the corner of Kirkland and Quincy Streets since its construction during the war, is disappearing. It is being rapidly torn down to be replaced by green grass and pleasant verdure.
Destruction of the structure began last week and will be completed early this week. In his wanderings around the Yard a CRIMSON reporter learned the history of this building.
It was constructed during the war to provide an eating room for those men attending the Radio School, a special department begun to aid the government in teaching the uses and operation of radio. At the close of the war, when the Radio School was discontinued, the building, after being out of use for a short time, was turned into a cafeteria to supplement Memorial Hall, which contained a dining hall.
Soon after the signing of the Armistice the temporary wooden structure, too good to tear down, and yet not particularly beautifying to its surroundings, was partitioned, and one half remained as a cafeteria and the other housed the Bursar's office. The former Bursar's office building, occupying the spot on which Lehman Hall now stands, had burned down and the officers of the exchequer were officeless.
Last year, at the completion of the construction work on Lehman Hall the offices of the Bursar were moved into it and some offices of the Business School occupied the Delta Building.
