Title
Old Main, 1890
Description
The south side of the south wing of Old Main after the first fire in December 1900. A large amount of room furnishings are strewn around the grounds. This view shows clearly that the south wing was the least affected portion of the building in the first fire.
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.
