This mid-1990s image shows then seldom-used building. At one time the Agriculture Department proposed removing the roof over the eastern end of the building and converting it to horse stalls.

Interview with Bobby Lane (2009)

The Swine Rearing Laboratory was one of the buildings located at the Agriculture Center along northbound Interstate 45.

The eastern end of the 2,979 square-foot building was used as a feeding area for the center's porcine livestock.

The building, not in use since the mid-1990s, was demolished in late 2010. An underground waste collection tank was also removed during this time.
