Description
An account of the resource
This 1950 photograph shows the west side of the Memorial Union with excavation for what will become the west terrace. The foundation walls are exposed and steel framework for the northwest addition is seen. A crane and construction framing are on the left side.
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.

This 1938 image taken from north and only slightly west of the Gold Star Hall (front) entrance to the Memorial Union has foreground an unpaved road that crosses in front of the fountain and defines the Union's property.

This 1944 photograph of the Memorial Union's west side shows mainly the roof lines, chimneys, pediments, a balcony around a window above the entrance, and the windows on the upper floors. Lake LaVerne is in the foreground, and plantings and trees hide most of the Union building. Two women are sitting on the far bank of the lake.

An account of the resource
This 1941 photograph shows a close view of the Four Seasons Fountain in the front (north) of the Memorial Union. The Four Seasons Fountain, which includes four Native American female figures, each representing one of the four seasons, is by Christian Petersen. Five individuals sit or stand around the edge of the fountain. The Union building, partially hidden by trees and plantings and the fountain's water spout, is in the background.
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.

Description
An account of the resource
This 1937 photograph shows the front (north) of the Memorial Union, viewed from across the fountain. The fountain has several water jets going upward. A group of several people is standing on the steps in front of the entrance to Gold Star Hall. Taken from a distance, this photograph illustrates many of the Union's details such as the columns and carvings around the entrance to Gold Star Hall, the balustrades along the roof edge, the faux balconies under some windows, the pediments and the slate roof.
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
The front entrance of the Memorial Union into Gold Star Hall and focuses on the entryway. There are four people standing on the front steps, in front of the large bronze doors. A boardwalk runs along the front of the building, and makes a wider platform around the entrance and stone steps. Another woman is walking on the boardwalk toward the entrance, and being in motion, appears as a blurred, ghostly image.

This image focuses on one corner, the southwest, of the Memorial Union with Lake LaVerne down an embankment and in the foreground. Trees and shrubbery partially hide the building, but the photograph is composed to emphasize the roof levels, chimneys, balconies and pediments of the building.
