Math Science Construction, Part II Plus Parking Woe

Let’s turn back for a moment, shall we, to those shots of the construction of the Math Sciences Building. It’s almost finished here in this image from the summer of 1968. It’s kind of hard to see but if you zoom in and squint a little you can see that the sign now reads “Herman Brown Hall” instead of “Mathematical Sciences” as it did earlier. Sadly, you can also clearly see the very beginning of the end for the big parking lot behind the Chemistry Building.

One of the unusual things in this batch of pictures is that there are some images of the building’s interior. This one was taken in June:

And this one is from August:

I was just in this building the day before yesterday and it’s as charming as ever:

Bonus: I couldn’t find a place to park after lunch today. In the stadium lot. Seriously.
