Description
An

sketch
of the

Stephen
F
.
Austin

Texas

, for the

opening
of the
college
in

. A
wet
winter
ended
any
hopes
of
construction
being
completed
on
time
,
along
with a
dispute
between
the
Moore
Construction
Company
and the
architect
and the
state
inspector
of
masonry
over
how
payments
were
being
made
. An
agreement
was
worked
out
with the
bonding
company

construction
resumed
in the
summer
of
1923
.
Construction
on the
Austin
Building

completed
in
May
of
1924
and
SFA
moved
into its
current
location
.
It
was
known
as the

building
on
