| Description | Throughout the 1960s, the size of the student population, academic facilities, and physical features of Bowling Green State University were all expanding greatly. The Board of Trustees approved plans for the construction of a quadrangle dormitory that would form part of a series of buildings within close proximity of each other that would provide a "campus-within-a campus" atmosphere. In 1967, Harshman residents participate in a contest to name the four halls, each one starting with one of the letters A through D. The halls were thus named for Ohio author Sherwood Anderson, Ohio novelist and conservationist Louis Bromfield, Apple Orchard planter and pioneer John Chapman (AKA: Johnny Appleseed), and Dayton, Ohio native Paul Laurence Dunbar, the first African-American poet to gain national prominence. Due to the aging of the structure and the construction of new housing facilities, Harshman Quadrangle was demolished in the summer of 2018. Listed below are additional highlights in the history of the building:
