Probably not the Ghost of Guion Hall either, then?

Eric, my Dad is class of '76 and obviously the place was gone by the time he started in '72. Do you know if it was located in the same place or proximity of Rudder Tower?

I never saw it, either. The very first time I stepped foot on campus at A&M was in January 1972.

A friend of mine from the Class of '69 remembered it well and spoke fondly of it. One thing he talked about was going to movies there.

I have some Aggielands from the early 1950s. An Aggie from back then passed away about a year ago and when someone cleaned up the house, they ended up at the recycling center. One of the city employees told me about them and so I went and got them. I told the son of that Aggie, also an Aggie, that we had them a month or two ago and so if he wants them to come get them. I'll take a look and if they are still in the building, maybe there will be some pictures of it.

Of course, if the pictures do not explicitly identify it as Guion Hall, I probably won't know if they are.

He mentioned the Ghost of Guion Hall a couple of times, too.

Thanks Eric.

Welp as always, TEXAGS knows stuff. Still interested in the button. Tony was at A&M and then drafted to go to Vietnam. He finished up school in Corpus after 2 tours.

That was a good looking building. Any clue as to why it was demolished? Besides making room for the new. I read earlier that it was hard to see the stage because of the layout.

Where was it located? What all was located in it?

This a pretty good website for old buildings at Aggieland. Now I am interested in the ghost stories.

Here is a picture of it being demolished.


We could have had a hell of a good looking campus if we had not torn down some of the historic buildings to embrace the soviet architecture of blocker etc...

And we are still doing this garbage today. Sometimes we are our own worst enemies.

Best I could find was that it was about a 2500 seat auditorium and it was located about where rudder is now.

It was the '48 Longhorn and the '49, '50, '51, and '52 Aggielands. They have been returned to their rightful owner.

There was a parking lot at the rear of Guion Hall where commuters parked . When you parked facing back door of Guion Hall and looked left the MSC was in view and if you looked 45* more to left G Rollie White was across the street . I think C. K . Eston the PA announcer for Kyle Field and Aggie football had an office in Guion Hall . It seems we observed him arriving and leaving the building often. If you looked in your rear view mirror you could see the President's residence. I'm class of '70 .
