Description
An account of the resource
This 1954 photograph of the front (north) and (west) side of the Memorial Union has several people walking on the curved sidewalk towards Gold Star Hall and on the west terrace. The west side of the building is in bright sunlight and the front (north) slightly in shadow. The photograph highlights the northwest addition, with the whole building set against a clear sky. Tree branches and an expanse of lawn are in the foreground.
Designed by Proudfoot, Rawson, and Souers, the Memorial Union was constructed in 1927-1928 by Arthur H. Neumann and Company. Built as a memorial to those who lost their lives in World War I, the original construction included the main 5 story section, Gold Star Hall, and the Great Hall. By 1938, more space was desperately needed, and the south wing was built. The addition enlarged the dance space, increased the commons area, and included a bowling alley in the basement. An extension of the south wing and addition to the southeast corner was completed in 1948. Construction on the northwest corner started 1950, and included the west terrace, chapel, and browsing library. The bookstore and Sun Room were built in 1957-1958. The northeast section was built in 1964. This involved the Campanile Room, Regency Room, and Cardinal Room on the first floor, and the Pioneer Room on the second floor, and student office spaces on the ground floor. A southeast expansion for the bookstore and food production area was completed in 1973, and two additional floors were built on the southeast wing in 1978-1979. A ground floor renovation in 1995-1996, created the present day Food Court. The Union was again renovated in 2006-2008 which included the improvement of the facade facing Lincoln Way. From its beginning in 1927, the Memorial Union was a nonprofit corporation, independent from Iowa State, and governed by a Board of Directors. In 2003, the corporation was dissolved, allowing the Memorial Union to become part of the University.

An account of the resource
This 1957 photograph taken from the terrace is of the beginning excavations for what will be the bookstore and Sun Room in the Memorial Union. A workman in a skid shovel with the shovel full of dirt and raised high waits and looks towards a dump truck that is emptying its load just beyond some trees. The earth around the skid shovel is stripped bare and gouged, tangled with tree roots and shows tire tracks under the raised shovel. The wall of the terrace is in the foreground. A white construction cabin with a table and various wood and sawhorses around it is beyond the back (south) corner of the Union.

An account of the resource
This 1955 photograph is of the outside entrance to Gold Star Hall in the front (north) of the Memorial Union. Decorative details of the entrance include the four attached columns with Doric-style capitals, decorative carvings incorporating grotesques, rosettes, and the five-pointed star in the peak of the pediment, and the large arched window. A revolving door is in the doorway which has been modified from its original size.

This 1954 photograph shows the west side of the Memorial Union from across Lake LaVerne. Only the tallest parts of the Union are visible through the thick foliage and trees that surround the lake. One white swan is standing in the shallows, and cars are seen parked along the street that is between the lake and the Union.
Designed by Proudfoot, Rawson, and Souers, the Memorial Union was constructed in 1927-1928 by Arthur H. Neumann and Company. Built as a memorial to those who lost their lives in World War I, the original construction included the main 5 story section, Gold Star Hall, and the Great Hall.

An account of the resource
This 1953 winter photograph focuses on the north facade of the new northwest addition, west of the Gold Star Hall entrance, to the Memorial Union. Snow covers the ground, shrubbery and Four Seasons Fountain in the foreground. The five large arched windows in the addition repeat the shape of the window in the entrance.
Designed by Proudfoot, Rawson, and Souers, the Memorial Union was constructed in 1927-1928 by Arthur H. Neumann and Company. Built as a memorial to those who lost their lives in World War I, the original construction included the main 5 story section, Gold Star Hall, and the Great Hall. By 1938, more space was desperately needed, and the south wing was built. The addition enlarged the dance space, increased the commons area, and included a bowling alley in the basement. An extension of the south wing and addition to the southeast corner was completed in 1948. Construction on the northwest corner started 1950, and included the west terrace, chapel, and browsing library. The bookstore and Sun Room were built in 1957-1958. The northeast section was built in 1964. This involved the Campanile Room, Regency Room, and Cardinal Room on the first floor, and the Pioneer Room on the second floor, and student office spaces on the ground floor. A southeast expansion for the bookstore and food production area was completed in 1973, and two additional floors were built on the southeast wing in 1978-1979. A ground floor renovation in 1995-1996, created the present day Food Court. The Union was again renovated in 2006-2008 which included the improvement of the facade facing Lincoln Way. From its beginning in 1927, the Memorial Union was a nonprofit corporation, independent from Iowa State, and governed by a Board of Directors. In 2003, the corporation was dissolved, allowing the Memorial Union to become part of the University.

An account of the resource
This 1953 photograph shows the entire west side and terrace of the Memorial Union from street level. In it are easily seen many of the Union's unique architectural details including the pediments over the windows and in the roofline, balustrades, chimneys and balconies. Several cars and a bicycle are parked along the curved street. The hill to the left is bare and un-landscaped, and a temporary barrier runs along its foot to keep dirt from spilling onto the sidewalk.
