Buell Armory Gymnasium

Lexington, KY

Opened: January 1, 1901

Buell Armory Gymnasium, originally known as Alumni Hall, then Barker Hall and Buell Armory, was a three-story building with a gymnasium and a drill hall on either side. The building was dedicated in 1901. It was named for UK's second president, Henry Stites Barker and Union Civil War General and UK trustee Don Carlos Buell. Henry Stites Barker was president of UK from 1911-1917

The building was used for physical education, student clubs, dances, and ROTC, and was the site of the first UK basketball games.

It was converted to an infirmary during the 1918 flu epidemic. With the aid of WPA funds, it was expanded in the 1930s. The nineteenth century bell from the Peter Taylor Methodist Church in Lewis County was installed in 1989.
