Trivia of the week -- Cottages

Which is the front of the Centennial Complex—the north or south entrance? Responses showed that people are unsure. The answer to last week’s question is that the “Who Touched Me?” sculpture is situated at the northwest entrance of the Centennial Complex. Answers of “in front of” or “behind” or just the building name were all accepted. The random winners are Eva Robledo, David Morris, and Dorothy Donesky. Please e-mail pr@llu.edu to claim your prize, which must be picked up in 60 days.

Last week we also mentioned the May 24 unveiling of the campus’ newest sculpture-to-be, titled “This is the Very Place.” It will be located behind Nichol Hall with the cottages that are original to the property when Seventh-day Adventists purchased it in 1905 to create the organization known today as Loma Linda University Health.

During their approximate 110-year history, the cottages have housed students, patients, families, clinics, professors, and offices. 

But not all of those original cottages still stand today. How many were there originally? E-mail the answer to pr@llu.edu by midnight Tuesday, April 29, for a chance to win.
