The Principal's House and College Hall. This print may have been cut out of an early normal school catalog. The photograph was taken sometime between 1897 and 1902 because the dormitory was not built until 1903 and would have appeared in the background between these two buildings if this were a later photograph. Also, ivy was allowed to grow up the walls of College Hall soon after it opened and none can be seen in this photograph.
