Famous horticulturist and educator Liberty Hyde Bailey designed this building as the first separate horticulture laboratory in America. Completed in 1888, the structure contained rooms for classes and botanical experiments. It exemplified Bailey’s pioneering work in scientific investigation of plant life. Its present name commemorates Harry J. Eustace, former professor and chairman of the Horticulture Department. The Honors College now occupies the structure.

Example

For example, one family's tree showed the Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania standing under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
