dc.descriptionAerial photo of the University of Toledo Campus with the Ottawa River in the middle, 1940. As shown, the buildings on campus including University Hall (1931) and the Field House (1931) are located near Bancroft St. South of these two buildings, tennis courts and the main parking lot on campus can be found. A baseball diamond and a running track also are located nearby. The football field (1937), found in the same location as it is today, is accessible by a crosswalk across campus and held 11,000 fans. The other buildings present at the time include: Scott Hall (1935), Tucker Hall (1935, home to faculty apartments, Libby Hall (1935), the former student union location and MacKinnon Hall (1939). The rest of campus is either forested or grassed over. The blurry bright spot on the northern edge is newly turned up dirt in anticipation of a new farm field shown in subsequent images. The area where Rocket Hall was to be located was used for farming purposes at the time. [Details by M. Edwards]
