Dedicated to an era long gone featuring architectural photographs of houses, hotels, apartment and office buildings, civic institutions and more...many of which are no longer standing.

A very happy after-life for this mansion. The University seems to maintian the building and grounds very well and the main floor is open to the public.

But, they do seem to be doing better in recent years...
