Eastman Hall, named for Alvah Eastman, resident director at St. Cloud State (1901-1908, 1926-1933), opened in 1930 as the campus gymnasium. It served until 1965 when Halenbeck Hall opened its doors.
Stewart Hall, which opened in 1948 as St. Cloud State's main classroom building, was named for Warren Stewart. Stewart served as St. Cloud State resident director from 1938 to 1948.
Set up as a joke, the outhouse represented a proposed St. Cloud State student union. Much discussion was going on during that academic year about the possibility of a student union on campus.
