Further Information |
On the back of the photo, some writing in blue ink reads: "Payne" (partially underlined).With financial support from Frank Russell Payne, president of the board of trustees at Westminster College and manager of the local J.C. Penny Company, the college broke ground on the $55,000 gymnasium on July 17, 1928. Dedicated on January 11, 1929, it was named the Frank Russell Payne Gymnasium in honor of its primary donor. The new facility was used not only by a grateful Westminster student body, but also by a variety of teams and clubs from the Sugar House Area.For information on Frank R.
