re: Which old LSU buildings gone or not used any longer?

Lived in Hatcher in 77. Back side, fourth floor, last room before the stairs. Could stick my head out the window & see Tiger Stadium! People were still living in the stadium back then. Those rooms and the rooms in the two dorms on either side of Hatcher (Johnson & ?) didn't have AC.

Christ the King has been on the corner of Dalrymple and Highland since I was a freshman in 1979. The old church is now a meeting room. They built the new church right next to the old church.

I am confused.

You're correct about the church and meeting/rec areas swapping places during the renovation project, but you forgot about the building of the administrative/ministry office wing of the complex. The old Phi Kappa Theta house (the Catholic fraternity) was kicked off of campus in the early 1990s, and when the Catholic Student Center was expanded in the late 1990s it included the old Phi Kap lot. The old Phi Kap house was located approximately where the student center's offices are located now.

I don't remember ever hearing that the PKT house burned.

Oh, I don't think it was burned per se when it was leveled (although the members did, allegedly, celebrate their 24-hour notice to vacate by throwing a bonfire party...in their own lobby). The main reason it was leveled is that they were not going to be let back on campus any time soon (still aren't today, in fact)...and the building itself was supposedly in need of a costly complete overhaul make-over any way due to the fire safety violations all over it. Completely unrelated, but I think that the house actually did get somewhat gutted by a fire like around 1976 or so though.

It was below Hatcher. I believe it was named "The Pub".

I got really drunk there at an on campus Halloween Party in 1979. Fun times!
