Barbour Gymnasium - Mary Jane Porter Room plaque

John Scott, architect. There is a discrepancy in building date. Sources cite both 1902 and 1896. "Among the gifts [for the women's gymnasium] was a transfer of $711 from the Mary J. Porter Fund, one of the first alumnae contributions to the university." (source: University of Michigan: an Encyclopedic Survey) Barbour Gymnasium (for women) was attached to the north side of the Waterman Gymnasium.
