Floor Plans/Blueprints, ca. 1930-1950
Series 01 Scope and Contents
This series documents Springfield College’s second dormitory, Alumni Hall. The material in the collection consists of general information on the dormitory, floor plans, bids for the addition of the greenhouse to the building, a book produced that commemorates the building with a listing of donors and descriptions of the rooms in the building, photographs, dedication materials and newspaper articles related to the dedication of the building and ground breaking ceremonies. Included within the photographs are many small postcard sized prints of construction, many of which are dated and numbered, though prints are not organized as such in the folders. In addition, there are images of many of the important features of the building, including MacLean Terrace, Carlisle Foyer, the William B. Kirkham Museum, and the Fred Morgan Kirby Biological Laboratory. Of note is information regarding the large-sale fundraising campaign related to the dormitories construction, much of which came from Alumni. There are many posters or large pamphlet sheets reflecting both the call for funds and the direct recognition of Alumni who donated.
