Seaton Court was completed in 1875 for $7,500 (including equipment). It is the oldest building on campus. At that time the Industrial Arts program located inside offered several areas of vocational training such as wagon repair, carpentry and painting. In 1876 a building was erected behind this structure to be used as a foundry for instruction in blacksmithing. A north wing was added a few years later to provide space for woodwork shops, printing, telegraphy, household arts and music. Power machinery was installed in the woodshop in 1887.
