“Tentative Location of Proposed Library Group,” 1941

When Tommy sent that beautiful shot of Brochstein Pavilion the other day he also included this lovely image of the campus taken from just above the main entrance:

It made me remember this drawing, which I found about a month or so ago. It’s a 1941 Cram and Ferguson sketch of a proposed location for the already anticipated new library group. They wanted to put it where George R. Brown is today. Although I think that in recent years we’ve found a way to make the best of it, I wish we would have done it their way.

Bonus: Last week I saw this over by Sewall, where they’re working on the roof.

I laughed, reminded of this:

I still miss Johnny.
