Tassie Memorial Library

The Tassie Memorial Library was built in 1920 using funds donated by the family of John Tassie, a former student of the College who died while on active service during World War I.

In 1946 the Lowrie Wing was added when the widow of the College’s second Principal, William Lowrie, donated funds for its extension.

It continued to be used as the College Library until the opening of a new building in 1973.
