Long Description:The Benjamin Fine Administration Building was constructed between 1946 and 1948. It once housed the Registrar's Office, but now is home to the Advancement Office. The Watson and Fine buildings are often perceived as one structure, but they are distinctly separate, connected by the Esplanade. Together, these buildings cost $200,000 to construct. Note the tall decorative red light pole at the north end of the buildings.
