The building was used as a hospital for southern soldiers wounded in battles until classes resumed in 1866 when hostilities had ended. On June 24, 1887, Old Main burned. It was rebuilt in 1888 from plans by Bruce and Morgan, architects, with James Smith as the contractor. A ceremony was held the first day of construction with Charles B.
