Title
Old Main, 1890
Description
The north side of Old Main after a fire in 1900. A large number of chairs are strewn around the grounds. This view shows clearly that the north roof and north wall of the building are gone. Window openings on the west and south side of the north wing are empty of glass and framing.
Old Main was constructed between 1864-1868, and served as the main college building for Iowa State. It housed classrooms, the library, chapel, museums, dining halls, and was the residence for faculty and students. It burned in 1900, and the remaining parts of the building were completely destroyed by a second fire in 1902.
