Work Description:
|
Probably taken in the summer or fall of 1903 because the building was occupied in December 1903 and opened in January 1904. This shows very clearly in the bare brick wall where it was planned to open entrances into a wing to be built later to the west. The roof is still open and the skylights are not in. A small crane can be seen in the roof opening. None of the windows are in and the front staircase is under construction. A construction shed is at the left and bricks and odd barrels of supplies are lying around. Leaning against the base of the brick wall is a large triangular timber structure that has a gear drive winch on it which may have been hand operated. The hanging light from the pole is a puzzle. Two wires run to it but it can't be lowered as was the case with later lights on this post. It hangs from an arm with a big truss but one can't make out details of what produced the light. On August 28, 1902, Acting President Francis Ramaley was directed by the Regents "to have three electric arc lights placed on the campus if the same can be obtained at a rate not exceeding one hundred dollars per year for each light." The architect for the Library was George W. Roe of Pueblo who was awarded a prize of $150. by the Regents on January 22-24, 1902, for the best design in a competition for library plans. At a special meeting of the Regents August 27, 1902, at the Albany Hotel in Denver the contract for the library was awarded to T. H. Bruning of Boulder whose bid was $56,700.00 plus $75.00 if Luxfer prism glass was used in the roof.
