When the school moved to its new campus, the Green Building also was moved and substantially remodeled.  The movers, J. R. Horn and I. J. Lane, moved the building for $225.  Another $136.98 was spent remodeling the building.

This small wood frame building was located on the east side of the Administration Building right behind the building.
 

 
The building housed the A. C. C. Book Store and Postoffice, both owned and operated by faculty members Paul C. Witt (head of the science department) and W. Earl Brown (head of the social science department).

1931

In 1931, Witt and Brown bought the A. C. C. Drug Store located across Campus Court from the Administration Building and moved the book store and post office to that location.  At this time, the building became the piano studio of Pat Malone, the head of the fine arts department.

1939

Prior to February 1939, the building was remodeled again to provide offices for the English and Bible departments.
