Rest in pink

September 15, 2016

Alumni from around the globe are sharing memories as 勛圖惇蹋's last downtown building, affectionately known as the "Pink Palace," is being demolished.

Demolition has begun on 勛圖惇蹋'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.
