Mumford Horse Barn
The Mumford Horse Barn is a barn located north of St. Mary's Road on the Urbana-Champaign campus.
The university plans to renovate it to become a welcome center for the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences. The barn measures 30 feet by 60 feet and originally held horses and stored chicken feed for the university's poultry operations.
The university scheduled to move the barn July 16, 2008, from the southwest corner of Florida Avenue and Goodwin Avenue to the southwest corner of Race Street and Windsor Street. The university moved it to its Florida Avenue and Goodwin Avenue location around 1917 for an expansion of the softball field and Atkins Tennis Center. The barn may have previously sat near the Mumford House, the oldest building on campus, constructed in 1870.
