LAW BARRACKS
From Knob Knowledge
Law Barracks was completed in 1939, as a WPA project. It was originally referred to as "South Barracks," because it was located south of the other barracks. On May 30, 1963, the Board of Visitors named it after Major General Evander McIvor Law, C.S.A., Class of 1856. It was refurbished in 1977. In 2005, Law Barracks was demolished, and a modern structure essentially identical in outward appearance was constructed and opened for occupancy by cadets in January 2007. People were allowed to take bricks from the old barracks as mementoes.
