Historian Jon Alfred has located, in USU Special Collections, a three-page bid that Anderson Lumber (now Stock Building Products) prepared in 1959 for a remodel of the Barn. The bid is shown here, courtesy of USU Special Collections. Jon also noted letters from the same time frame from Dr. Twain Tippets, Chair of the Dept of Fine Arts, and Art Professor Dr. Harrison Groutage to USU President Daryl Chase, requesting use of the Barn as a ceramics studio, because they had lost their Old Main studio in a fire. A letter from the USU Board of Trustees to President Chase subsequently approved the Barn remodeling project. Interestingly, Logan evidently lacked natural gas at this time, so USU's kilns were heated with butane.
