Completed in the 1920s, it was designed by the noted Fort Worth architect Wyatt C. Hedrick as part of the school's proposed agricultural focus. It has been used for a variety of college functions, including early basketball games. The pavilion now serves as a reminder of the influence agriculture had on the early development of Texas Tech University.Erected 1982 by Texas Historical Commission. (Marker Number 5273.)
