In 1956, the Landscape Architecture program moved into the building. By this time, you can see that the columns and balustrade have been removed and the second floor porch closed in (see previous post). ------------------------------- #historicarchitecture #historicpreservation #historicbuilding #historicfacade #universityofgeorgia #denmarkhall #rememberieshp #rememberies

Denmark Hall's historic facade. Over time the facade lost some of its most character-defining features, like the columns and balustrade. What remained was a functional but fairly flavorless design. We recommended that all of these facade features be restored and character returned! ------------------------------- #historicdininghall #rememberies #rememberieshp #historicstructurereport #hsr #denmarkhall #universityofgeorgia #historicfacade #historicbuilding #historicpreservation #historicarchitecture

Denmark Hall was built in 1901 as the University of Georgia's first dining hall. While it was formally named after alumnus and fundraiser extraordinaire Brantley A. Denmark, it was affectionately known as "The Beanery" (an unflattering allusion to the quality of the fare). ------------------------------- Pictured: 2 interior views of the dining hall (top left and bottom right), salt and pepper shakers engraved with a 'D' (bottom left), and a porcelain egg cup with gilded lettering. ------------------------------- #denmarkhall #universityofgeorgia #historicbuilding #historicarchitecture #hsr #historicstructurereport #rememberieshp #rememberies #historicdininghall
