Description | The original Falcon's Nest was a log building constructed in 1942 to serve as a social gathering place for students. The second floor was also used as a residence for men during a time of scarce housing. The student population quickly outgrew the Nest, and the building was sold to the American Legion Post located in the local village of Portage. In March 1955 it was disassembled and transported to Portage, where it is still in use. In both the first Student Union and the current Bowen-Thompson Student Union, the name "Falcon's Nest" has been retained and used for in-building dining facilities. |
