(rotated diagonally in this image) set of 23 cyanotype photographs on cloth, some only partial images. This was owned by Catherine Friel, who says it came to her from her uncle and aunt, Will and Sarah Wallis. She identifies these as having been printed on Pongee silk and then used as a cushion before being taken apart and framed. Images 2-1 and 6-3 seem to both be historical images taken in about 1895. However, the football game in 2-2 took place on Nov. 9, 1901, and every other datable image takes place in an interval included 1901-1902, so we're assuming this cushion to date to late 1901 or 1902.

When the Administration Building was built in 1894, the library moved into second floor quarters. In 1899, when the Science Building (later Murrow Hall) was built, the campus museum moved out of the upper floor of the Administration Building and into Science, and the library moved to that fourth floor location (seen here).plain2018-06-22T16:39:24+00:00Is found in PC 6, WSU Lantern Slides http://libraries.wsu.edu/masc/finders/pc6.htm, at Washington State University Libraries' Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC), http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascpc006b1n067library-ThompsonImageLibraries1905ark:/80444/xv23258Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, Washington State University Libraries: http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascNorth and Central America--United States--Washington (state)--Whitman county--PullmanIn copyright.

A dirt path leads to the front entrance; no landscaping is present. A corner of Stevens Hall is present at the left of the image. Thompson Hall is the oldest extant building on campus, designed by noted Seattle architect, James Stephen and his Chicago trained partner, Timotheus Josenhans. It is prominently sited and immediately identifiable by its two large towers, one truncated and one with conical roof. The romantic Victorian Romanesque character of the building is further enhanced by rich variety of windows and entryways and the use of rock-faced granite (quarried near Spokane) for its contrasting trim. It formally opened January 1, 1895 at a cost of $50,000.plain2018-06-22T19:16:14+00:00Is found in PC 3, WSU Buildings Photographs http://libraries.wsu.edu/masc/finders/pc3.htm at Washington State University Libraries' Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC) http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascpc003b1fbldg1f4_18970117; pc149b2n78-373ImageJames; Thompson HallCampus buildings; Cornices--Washington (State)--Pullman; Stephen01/17/1897ark:/80444/xv40374Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, Washington State University Libraries: http://libraries.wsu.edu/mascUnited States--Washington (State)--Whitman County--PullmanNo known copyright.
