Title
Old Main, 1900
Description
Old Main from the southeast after the second fire in August 1902. The gutted building stands behind a large heap of rubble. Only the front porch is still intact. The water tower is seen to the left of the building in the middle distance.
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.
