Title

Memorial Union, 1952

Description

This 1952 photograph focuses on the Four Seasons Fountain in 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. The entrance to Gold Star Hall is in the background, and, to the right of that, one of the large arched windows of the completed northwest addition.
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.

Title

Memorial Union, 1941

Description

This 1941 image is a close-up of two of the figures, Winter and Fall, in the Four Seasons Fountain which is located in front (north) of the entrance to the Memorial Union's Gold Star Hall. The Four Seasons Fountain, which includes four Native American female figures, each representing one of the four seasons, is by Christian Petersen. The Gold Star Hall entrance is in the background, and a solitary woman leans against one of the columns, reading.
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.
