Front of Library just after completion, East Campus, Western Michigan University

View Item Record

Notes:

Photograph of the Library front just after completion on East Campus of Michigan College of Education. Some landscaping is installed, but the walks and drives are not yet paved. The Library (later named North Hall) was built in 1924, and would be the main library until Waldo Library was built in the 1950s. During that time it was used by the College of Business until 1990 when the College of Business moved out. It has since been used to house archival material and it was home to the Department of Industrial Design for a few years during the last decade. The building, except for the front, was razed in 2014.
