Description

Though undated, this photograph appears to date from just before the building's completion. Most of the windows in the main wing have not been installed, and there is no fencing or landscaping. Two blurry figures, one near the northwestern corner of the Stack Wing and one (bending) near the western stairs, appear to be people in motion, perhaps workers. The children are sitting on a stone. The last two letters, "H" and "T," can be discerned. If the children's legs are hiding the rest of the word "ALBRIGHT," this stone cannot be found in the completed building.
