Syracuse University inSyracuse, New York . It was built in 1908 with money donated by John D. Archbold, a major benefactor of the university, who also funded the building ofArchbold Stadium , just to the west of the gymnasium (now the site of theCarrier Dome ). It served as the home to the men's basketball team until the building of theManley Field House in 1962, with the exception of the time from January, 1947 to 1949. This was due to a large fire which gutted most of the building. The building was rebuilt from 1948 to 1949, and a southern addition was made in 1952, as well as a neighboring gymnasium (Flanagan Gymnasium), which was built in 1989. The building now houses the school's ROTC programs, as well as the bursar, financial aid services, aerospace studies and undergraduate processing.External links
