Description
Aerial photo of the University of Toledo Campus with the Ottawa River in the middle, 1950. During World War II, military barracks were constructed South of University Hall. Note how the baseball diamond has been replaced by a grass parking lot signaling the importance of parking on campus. In 1946 the football stadium was renovated and renamed "The Glass Bowl". Later that same year, land was bought West of Campus Drive to accommodate 40 temporary housing units for faculty and married students. This image was taken in November, which allows a view of what lies beneath the trees. It is useful to see the natural course of the Ottawa River through campus. South of the parking lot you could find a marshy area leading into an island as the river tried to straighten itself out naturally. [Details by M. Edwards]
