- CROSS HALL CONSTRUCTION IN 1936.
- Workmen on the Cross hall for boys at Magnolia
A &M College had laid the forms for the pouring of the second floor
when this picture was taken on May 23, 1936. The view is to the southeast,
showing in the distance farmland now occupied by such industries as Koppers
and Alumax. Just across the highway, which still curves through the campus,
can be seen several small structures. The tiny building partly visible
at far left was Curtis Wright's barbershop. The billboards stood near the
present Wesley Center. A cafe and bus stop named the "Blue and Gold"
then occupied the middle of the present traffic island, and the faculty
house at right, which was home for nearly 40 years to the W.C. Munn's,
was on the site of the present Wharton Nursing Building. East University
street was then only a farm road, and North Washington was more of a sandy
land than a street---at least as far south as Columbia Street. The picture
is from the SAU archives, with information by Dr. Robert Walz, professor
of history.
