This very dark negative shows the old Chemistry building with young trees around it. The fence around Gamble Field can be seen at left and above the fence is a long low barn-like shed which is puzzling since it does not appear in 1-5. In the distance is the Chautauqua Auditorium which was completed in 1898. The auditorium was under construction here - as can be seen by comparing 4-3 and 4-4. The auditorium was constructed between May 12 and July 4, 1898, so it would seem reasonable to guess that this picture was taken in June of 1898. A barn with a cupola, apparently on university land, is at the far right. This was probably taken from the second floor of the engineering building. Note the stone step to use in entering a carriage. Note that there is a discrepancy between the labeled "02" (1902) and my conclusion that the picture was taken in June of 1898. The auditorium may be complete so that my conclusion about its being under construction is wrong, or negatives and envelopes have been accidentally switched in the past. See 4-4.
