Work Description: 
This shows the original Chemistry building. The photo was taken after the completion of the Library (at right) in December 1903 and before Chemistry was enlarged in 1906. The main entrance was through the arch doorway on the east face at the left. Note that electric power came in on four wires on the east face and note that someone is sitting in the fourth ground floor window from the right. An irrigation hose is across the stone sidewalk and the fence of Gamble Field is at the right. In the 1906 enlargement the building was lengthened to the east (left) symmetrically about the left hand pair of front arched windows. The main entrance was cut through where these windows are with the two basement windows remaining under the stone porch entrance. A new brick facade was put over the left two pairs of arched windows and some of the new construction and this facade was capped with a gable. The arch doorway at left was then the main floor entry between the lobby and the new wing while the pair of windows above the arch were opened into a door for second floor access to the new wing. The lecture hall wing to the south was also added in 1906.
