Alumni from around the globe are sharing memories as ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ's last downtown building, affectionately known as the "Pink Palace," is being demolished.

Demolition has begun on ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ's former six-story residence hall on Union Ave. in
Saratoga Springs. Constructed in 1957 to house and feed 160 students, Moore Hall remained
a downtown outpost long after the campus moved to its present location; , and now its owners are redeveloping the site.
The Pink Palace "was never intended to be pink; the stone was supposed to fade over time into a subdued
beige," according to some sources. But the brighter color matches the warm, and sometimes
wild, memories of alumni who lived there.
